Accountability for Blackwater

Join Amnesty International in demanding accountability for Blackwater. By signing your name to this petition, you ask Blackwater to take their human rights responsibilities seriously and to cooperate with Iraqi and US investigations.

Near Nisour Square, Baghdad, on September 16, at least 17 Iraqis were killed after personnel of Blackwater Worldwide, a contractor of the U.S. State Department, reportedly shot several rounds from their armored vehicles. This is neither the first time nor an isolated incident of Blackwater personnel using lethal force against Iraqi civilians.
