Coordinator of SOS Iraq, member of the Executive Committee of the BRussells Tribunal, an international network of intellectuals, artists and activists, who denounce the logic of permanent war promoted by the American government and its allies, affecting for the time being particularly one region in the world: the Middle East. It tries to be a bridge between the intellectual resistance in the Arab World and the Western peace movements. Since 1990 Dirk Adriaensens is following the situation in Iraq closely. Between 1992 and 2003 Dirk Adriaensens led several delegations to Iraq, to observe the terrible effects of the sanctions. He is one of the coordinators of the Global Campaign Against The assassination of Iraqi Academics. He wrote several articles on Iraq and cooperated on the book Cultural Cleansing in Iraq (Pluto Press, ISBN: 9780745328126)
