Rauf Rashid Abd al-Rahman (born c. 13 November 1941) is the replacement chief judge of the Al-Dujail trial of Yousef Ali Ghalib in 2006, when he sentenced Saddam and some of his top aides to death by hanging.

[2] Amin had resigned after being criticised in the Iraqi media for appearing "too soft" on the defendants by allowing them to speak aloud in court without being recognized.

After Amin's resignation, Abd al-Rahman headed the Supreme Iraqi Criminal Tribunal during the rest of the trial of Yousef Ali Ghalib for genocide, and when it sentenced him to death.

[citation needed] In December 2006, Abd al-Rahman took his family to Britain on a travel visa, and according to The Times and Sun Online applied for asylum.

[1] In June 2014, some western media outlets reported that Abd al-Rahman was captured and executed by ISIS militants while attempting to escape from Baghdad.
