In the Dujail trial, judge Raouf Abdul-Rahman looked at execution warrants signed by the defendants for the Dujail victims. The main thing he wanted was to know if there was any due process before the warrant was signed. If an execution warrant was signed without consideration, the judge ruled it to be a crime against humanity. I believe most of those defendants, including Saddam’s brother in law, were found guilty and hung.

So the Iraqi legal precedent has be set. This new case involves execution warrants signed by Tariq Aziz amongst others. If the judge finds that they signed them without consideration, they’ll be found guilty and probably hung.
