any society purporting civilized
behavior; and
Whereas, Emphasizing the bar-

descend to, is the public aspect of
these executions; and
Whereas, If the world family of
nations countenance such behavior
in official members of the United
Nations, it condones the devolution
to barbaric rule and condones
official acts of barbarism by the
Iraqi government; now therefore
