Extracts from the INA's charter, as published in English on the organisation's website. The document is undated.

The Iraqi National Accord (I.N.A.) was established in 1990 to achieve a democratic pluralistic regime that respects human rights and lives peacefully with its citizens, neighbors and the whole world. (I.N.A.) advocates the removal of Saddam's regime.

We hope to achieve this by encouraging and working with opposition elements (both military and civilian) within Iraq in their efforts to bring about change. We also look to the future, promoting a vision of genuinely democratic Iraq post Saddam which can take its rightful place within the international community.

In the last two decades, Saddam, by every means in his power, suppressed severely any attempt of free thinking or independent political activity, whether it came from persons, organizations or even Ba'ath party itself. He who ventured departing from the state direction or opposing the regime policy, met death.

Some fortunate Iraqis escaped the terrorist regime to live as refugees or residents in other countries. Supported by Iraqis inside and outside Iraq, some of those fugitives, united by a common goal, that is the removal of Saddam's regime, try to organize themselves in political groups.

(I.N.A) came as a natural result of a long political communication between some personalities of the same political opinion who were subjected in the past to the physical and intellectual terrorism Saddam inflicted on Iraqis.

(I.N.A) seeks to ensure the broadest framework through which those personalities can work, so most members of (I.N.A) have broad political and party experience and they held many official and international offices.

(I.N.A) believes in a real democracy and looks to an Iraqi society living peacefully within its geographical borders, a society with all its religions, nationalities and confessions, live in an atmosphere of fraternal friendship and sincerity.

(I.N.A) charter emphasizes the necessity of establishing a constitutional democratic regime which respects human rights and believes in pluralism, the reign of law, the unrestricted independence of judicatory and the equal rights for all citizens.

(I.N.A) respects completely the democratic and nationalist aspirations of the Kurds and supports the political program of Kurdistan front. It will also work for passing necessary legislations ensuring and respecting the cultural rights of Turkmen, Assyrian, and other minorities.
