Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

C O N F I D E N T I A L OTTAWA 002332 SIPDIS STATE FOR DRL (SANDRA HODGKINSON), INL AND WHA/CAN E.O. 12958: DECL: 08/14/2013 TAGS: PREL, PHUM, EAID, KCRM, IZ, CA, Iraq SUBJECT: MASS GRAVES PROJECT IN IRAQ: CANADA PLANS TO ASSIST REF: HQ CPA BAGHDAD TELEGRAM DTG 111341Z AUG 03 Classified By: Acting Political Minister Counselor Mary Witt, Reasons 1.5 (b) and (d). (C) Canada plans to provide a forensics team to assist with exhumation at mass grave sites in Iraq (reftel). Wendy Gilmore of Foreign Affairs' Regional Security Office told us that Canadian police are experienced in this area, having done similar work at mass grave sites in Kosovo and Bosnia. The personnel the GoC would call on are currently doing an investigation at a mass murder site in the Vancouver area, but they should be available by early fall. Gilmore said the police would want to know whether the exhumation is being done to account for individuals, build a case for a possible tribunal, or both, as this would affect how the sites are handled. Gilmore will be in touch with Sandra Hodgkinson to discuss this further. CELLUCCI
