• Saddam Hussein to Face Trial for Anfal Campaign The Iraqi Special Tribunal announced that Saddam Hussein and six co-defendants would be tried on August 21 for the 1980s Anfal Campaign, during which an estimated 100,000 Kurds were killed. This marked a significant moment in holding the former dictator accountable for human rights atrocities.

• Ronaldo Breaks World Cup Goal-Scoring Record Brazilian soccer legend Ronaldo set a new World Cup finals goal-scoring record by scoring his 15th goal in the Round of 16 match against Ghana, surpassing Gerd Müller's previous record of 14 goals. This milestone occurred in his 18th World Cup match, further cementing his status as one of football's greatest players.
• Conflicting Hamas Statements on Israel Reports suggested the Hamas-led Palestinian government might implicitly recognize Israel, potentially opening doors for peace negotiations. However, these reports were quickly contradicted by other Hamas officials, reflecting the complex and volatile nature of Israeli-Palestinian relations.
• Nagorno-Karabakh Diplomatic Breakthrough Armenian President Robert Kocharyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev reached a significant diplomatic agreement to allow Nagorno-Karabakh residents to determine the region's future status through a popular vote, potentially easing long-standing territorial tensions.
• Palestinian Militants Kidnap Israeli Student A Palestinian militant group kidnapped Eliyahu Asheri, a 19-year-old Israeli student, and threatened to kill him if Israel continued its military offensive. This incident underscored the ongoing tensions and violence in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

• Taiwan's President Survives Recall Attempt A vote in the Legislative Yuan to recall Taiwanese President Chen Shui-bian failed to achieve the required two-thirds majority, despite numerous corruption scandals surrounding his administration. This highlighted the political challenges in Taiwan's democratic process.
• US Flag Desecration Amendment Fails The United States Senate narrowly defeated a proposed constitutional amendment to prohibit flag desecration, with the measure falling just one vote short of the required majority. This reflects ongoing debates about free speech and national symbolism.
