EU Presidency Declaration on the capture of Saddam Hussein

Summary: December 15, 2003: Declaration by the Presidency on behalf of the European Union concerning the capture of Saddam Hussein (Brussels)

The EU welcomes the capture of Saddam Hussein as a crucial further step towards peace, stability, and democracy in Iraq and in the region. He should now be judged in a fair trial, according to the rule of law, so that justice be done.

The Union stresses the need that after this important development the political process in Iraq moves forward, with the widest popular participation, towards an accelerated transfer of sovereignty to a transitional Iraqi government and the establishment of conditions for economic and social reconstruction and development in the country.
