TESTIMONY“I was truly delighted that millions of Iraqi
people exercised their right to vote in an environment free of violence, a remarkable achievement in a country that has known so much conflict in recent years. Iraq has come a long way in taking their own affairs in hand, this being the first Iraqi-led and Iraqi-owned electoral process. It is a tribute to the growing effectiveness of the Iraqi Security Forces, and testifies to the increasing stability in the country.”
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon
