Camp Justice, Military camp in Kadhimiya district, Baghdad, Iraq.
Camp Justice is a military installation in northern Baghdad containing multiple buildings dedicated to administrative, security, and operational functions. The facility houses barracks, offices, and specialized areas that support both Iraqi and international military personnel.
The camp was originally known as Camp Banzai before being renamed Camp Justice in September 2004 as part of broader military base reorganizations in Iraq. This change reflected shifts in international military presence following the fall of the previous government.
The military camp maintains strict protocols while operating near Kadhimiya's religious sites, adapting its operations during local ceremonies and pilgrimages.
The site is heavily secured and not readily accessible to the public as it remains an active military facility. Visitors should expect strict security protocols and limited access to the grounds.
The camp gained international attention as the location where former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein and other high-ranking officials faced execution.
