Citizens Commission of Inquiry

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Citizens Commission of Inquiry into United States War Crimes in Indochina (CCI) was formed in 1969 by Tod Ensign and Jeremy Rifkin to document warcrimes in Indochina. The formation of the organization was encouraged by the Bertrand Russell Foundation in New York, and hastened by the disclosure of the My Lai Massacre. An eyewitness account and documentary history of the CCI can be found in Vietnam Awakening: My Journey from Combat to the Citizens Commission of Inquiry on US War Crimes in Vietnam (McFarland, 2007), by Michael Uhl, CCI's Veteran Coordinator at Large.
