Denis Halliday is a former UN Assistant Secretary General for Human Resources. A 34-year veteran of the UN he served as its Humanitarian Coordinator in Iraq beginning from September 1997, but resigned thirteen months later in protest over the devastating effects of the U.N. sanctions characterising them as ‘genocide’. Since then he has been an active campaigner against foreign military intervention in Iraq and elsewhere. In 2003 Dennis Halliday was presented with the Gandhi International Peace Award in recognition of his work drawing attending to the plight of Iraqis.
