This is a joke right? Tell me it's a joke that HRW is calling for the ostenisble perpetrators of the alleged war crimes to investigate themselves.
First I want to quote HRW's policy on Iraq:
“As in the case of other armed conflicts, Human Rights Watch thus does not support or oppose the threatened war with Iraq. We do not opine on whether the dangers to civilians in Iraq and neighboring countries of launching a war are greater or lesser than the dangers to U.S. or allied civilians—or, ultimately, the Iraqi people—of not launching one. We make no comment on the intense debate surrounding the legality of President George Bush’s proposed doctrine of 'pre-emptive self-defense’ or the need for U.N. Security Council approval of a war.”

Now, about HRW's veracity. Recently, in Ukraine:
