Iraq and Sanctions

Produced by

This lesson focuses on the UN Sanctions that were imposed upon Iraq in 1990 and that ended with the recent war in Iraq. It is designed for use in multiple classroom contexts, offering students the opportunity to explore a heavily debated international relations tactic: sanctions.

The lesson plan consists of a brief history of the sanctions and presents different viewpoints of the impact and/or success or failure of the sanctions. The readings can be given to students, or used by teachers, as part of their lesson preparation.

The lesson sets out clear objectives and correlating class activities, the primary one being a mini-mock United Nations with students representing key players: Iraq, the US, Jordan, Kuwait, France, the Security Council, the Iraq Sanctions Committee and the General Assembly.

Also provided in the lesson are discussion questions and topics for debate.
