Iraq Occupation Focus is part of Hands Off Iraqi Oil, a UK coalition opposing the rip-off of Iraq's oil by foreign corporations.
A Hydrocarbon Law currently being discussed by Iraq's parliament could see control over Iraqi's oil pass to foreign companies - including BP and Shell - for up to 30 years. The law has been pushed by the US, the UK and the International Monetary Fund, while ordinary Iraqis, and Iraqi civil society, have been excluded from the process.
