The first meeting of the civil society capacity building working group, organised as part of the Department of State's Future of Iraq initiative, was held in Washington DC on 24-25 February to review policy options for a post-crisis government in Baghdad.
'I think the meeting went very productively,' says Maha al-Shibib Joudi, a US-based Iraqi exile and a member of the group. The meeting called for the rebuilding of Iraq along democratic principles and defined the basic elements of a bill of rights.
The working group is one of 17 set up since the initiative was launched in February 2002.
