The International Campaign Against Aggression on Iraq (ICAAI) was a campaign umbrella group launched in Cairo 2003, at the Cairo Anti-war Conference,[1] to oppose the invasion of Iraq.[2]

The ICAAI sought to co-ordinate the February 15th global day of action against the Iraq war, which became the largest day of demonstrations in history, involving up to 25 million people in 150 countries.[3][4]

The ICAAI's president was Ahmed Ben Bella[5] and its vice-president was John Rees.
