Afshin Rattansi & Fmr. Asst. Secretary-General of UN on Iran

Denis J. Halliday was the United Nations Humanitarian Co-ordinator in Iraq from September 1, 1997 until 1998. A 34-year veteran of the UN, he resigned over the economic sanctions imposed on Iraq, characterizing them as "genocide".[1][2][3]
Halliday is Irish and holds an M.A. in Economics, Geography and Public Administration from Trinity College, Dublin. He served in the United Nations from 1964 until his resignation in 1998.[2]
In 2003 Dennis Halliday was presented with the Gandhi International Peace Award in recognition of his work drawing attention to the plight of Iraqis.
On October 25, 2007, Halliday, Harold Pinter and John Pilger had a letter printed in the Daily Telegraph in which they condemned the "celebration of [former British Prime Minister] David Lloyd George's legacy" (following the unveiling of a statue in Westminster in his honour) as "disgraceful", likening his policies of aerial bombardment of Middle Eastern countries to the present day war in Iraq.
