Til tross for den ustabile politiske situasjonen i dagens Irak, kjennetegnet av borgerkrig, terror og sekterisk vold, utgjør Al-Anfal noe unikt ikke bare i irakisk, men også i internasjonal sammenheng. Den representerer en bevisst og nøye planlagt politikk der det tidligere regimet gjennomførte historiens første kjemiske gassangrep mot egne sivile innbyggere.
