FULL DETAILS
On Friday 21st November at 12 noon a delegation from LAAW will be handing in to Scotland Yard a petition calling on the police to investigate Tony Blair for War crimes. LAAW believes that the Prime Minister committed a number of offences under the International Criminal Court Act of 2001.
The act introduced three new offences into British Law, those of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. Every citizen has a duty to report crimes to the police, and that is what LAAW will be doing. When a crime is reported it is the duty of the Police and the Crown Prosecution Service to investigate the reported crime and arrest, charge and prosecute the offenders if there is a case to answer.
The petition focuses on a number of issues, such as the use of indiscriminate weapons like cluster bombs and depleted uranium. It argues that the use of such weapons was itself a war crime. Cluster bombs are designed as indiscriminate anti-personnel bombs to kill or injure people and they are not effective against military installations. The wilful killing of civilians in this manner is a War crime and is a criminal offence under British Law (ICC Act 2001 Sections 51 and 52 and Schedule 8 Article 8).
Similarly the British use of depleted uranium shells, causing toxic uranium dust particles to disperse and contaminate wide areas of southern Iraq , is a war crime. This horrific act will lead to increases in cancers, premature deaths and miscarriages in pregnant women in Iraq for years to come. Wilfully killing and injuring civilians in this manner is both a crime against humanity (ICC Act Sch. 8 Article 7) and a War crime (ICC Act 2001 Sch. 8 Article 8 sections 2(a) (i) and 2(b) (iv) (xvii) (xviii).
For Tony Blair to give the orders to engage in such acts was ancillary conduct to the offences.
The LAAW delegation are meeting at 11.45am Scotland Yard where it will hand the petitions in, at 12 noon.
