UN criticises Iraq human rights

The UN has sharply criticised Iraq's human rights record, in the two months since a new security plan was launched in and around the capital, Baghdad.

The UN mission for Iraq said Iraqi authorities had failed to guarantee the basic rights of about 3,000 people they had detained in the operations.

The report said four million Iraqis were at risk because of lack of food.

The UN Assistance Mission in Iraq again called for access to Iraqi government files on civilian casualty figures.
