Item CHALLENGES OF THE INTERPRETER IN CRITICAL SITUATIONS: THE PERIOD OF IRAQ INVASION(2022-01-19) ABDULMUNEM, Abdulrahman; ALTAY, AYFERThis research paper discusses the critical situations and the challenges of contracted local interpreters, who worked with the US military and its allies, during the period of the Iraq invasion. The research will include the interpreters’ life experiences beginning with their recruitment, the diaspora of Iraqi’s in the host countries, and their resettlement in other countries. This research aims to show how dangerous it was to work in this field and how the contracted local interpreters have lived in fear for their lives, and the lives of their families. Some interpreters have encountered persecution, kidnapping, displacement challenges, assassination, and death. This research also seeks to demonstrate that contracted local interpreters were not given all their fundamental rights. The illegal policy practices performed by contracting companies when recruiting the interpreters, caused many interpreters the loss of their right to basic human dignity. As such, during the interviews with contracted local interpreters, it was found that many amendments and reforms must be in place before recruiting contracted local interpreters, and all the recruitment processes should be subject to international law.
