John McDonnell MP, Chris Coverdale: International War Law Expert and Annie Machon of the
Campaign to Make War History brief MPs and the media on allegations of war crimes committed
against the people of Iraq by Britain’s former Prime Minister and former Attorney General.
Officers from Scotland Yard have commenced a criminal investigation into the deaths of Iraqi
citizens killed during the armed invasion and occupation of Iraq. The Metropolitan Police are
acting in response to crimes reported by peace activists from We Are Change UK and The Campaign
to Make War History. In an unprecedented step, the case was handed to the War Crimes division
of the Counter Terrorism branch who are now investigating allegations of 14 criminal offences
committed by Tony Blair, Lord Goldsmith and others. The offences are under the International
Criminal Court Act 2001, which came into effect under English common law, just two days before
9/11.
Two Members of We Are Change UK and a representative from the Campaign to Make War History were
interviewed for six hours at Belgravia Police station on the 20th December 2007. Evidence was
provided to the police relating to the crimes of:-
• genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and conduct ancillary to these crimes under
Sections 51 and 52 of The International Criminal Court Act 2001. • a crime against peace and
complicity in a crime against peace under Articles 6 and 7 of The Nuremburg Principles. •
murder, incitement to murder and conspiracy to murder under the Offences Against the Person Act
1861. • conspiracy to commit genocide, a crime against humanity and war crimes under the
Criminal Law Act 1977.

We need an International War Crimes tribunal to investigate, find,
capture, and prosecute those prinicipal political leaders in the USA
and the UK responsible for the aggressive, illegal, and criminal war
in Iraq.
Oppose the current illegal, aggressive, and criminal war in Iraq but
support the returning veterans!

Without the soldiers' enthusiastic cooperation, there would be no war.

Both Bush and Cheney are on record clearly stating the an invasion of
Iraq would result in needless loss of life which is a war crime per
se.
Proving intent, often the most difficult part of any prosecution, is
trivial for Bush and Cheney.
