  • Keep up the good work Chris. Your assembly of detailed evidence of war crimes and educational work about war law is informing people about just how bankrupt the British government is in relation to the Iraq and Afghan wars. The Chilcot "inquiry" is a joke. Witnesses do not swear an oath--no risk of perjury. No barristers to examine them forensically. Just cosy chats between establishment worthies. And any controversial evidence in secret. Your work is a breath of fresh air.

  • Good informative lecture. Thanks!!

  • And let us not forget the ongoing kill from Depleted Uranium 238 munitions that will go on killing and mutating people long after they have been exploded, the use of these filthy weapons is a crime against humanity!

  • @psychientology, I don't either, What a shame. We kill 1 person, WERE GONE FOR LIFE.!

    But they lie about terror... Kill Thousands upon thousands.. They laugh - They walk away - They live happy ever after. AND WE PAY FOR THEIR PROTECTION WITH OUR TAXES.! Meanwhile they line us up to kill more.

    LETS GET THOSE PEOPLE THE FUCK OUT OF THERE.!

  • If all leaders knew they could be tried and hung for war crimes, They wouldn't think twice about putting us into harms way to murder maim and take other peoples lands. But they create laws that protect them later from it. But .. NOTHING WILL PROTECT THEM IF THE WHOLE WORLD GETS INVOLVED IN THE PROSECUTION OF ANY LEADER THAT IS TAKING PEOPLE INTO HARMS WAY TO STEAL RESOURCES FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY.

  • Sartre & Russell tried this tack back in the 1960s over Vietnam.

    Force Majeure usually has the last word.

    The idea that individuals bringing legal cases against governments to stop their incessant war-mongering may be noble, but would be ineffective.

    Still, it is a point of view I can respect.

  • @terry.. "making wars "illegal" doesn't stop them happening"

    In the same way the government believing that we'll continue to pay taxes, fines etc.. just because some "legal" documents say so.

    There is is HUGE difference between what is Legal and what is Lawful. Wars aren't Lawful. What the government considers to be Illegal is largely irrelevant if we remove our consent to be governed by their legal Statutes and Acts of Parliament, and instead live under Common Law.

  • Terry, it's all part of helping each other get a grip on what is happening - what he is saying is that we have to mobilise in large numbers (which is true) to challenge those whose actions are illegal and harmful, especially those in Government.

    Discrimination laws (and we see many cases these days) are enforced because lots of people do bring prosecutions - because in this area of law, most are well informed, know their rights.

    Few people know anything about war law, hence it is not enforced.

  • The problem is that making wars "illegal" doesn't stop them happening.

    I wish it did.
