Press Release: Scotland Yard to investigate Tony Blair and ex-Attorney General Peter Goldsmith for war crimes

Press Conference,
Room C, 1 Parliament Street
Tuesday 15th January 2008 3pm

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.

It's international law, so that would apply to American citizens as well, right?

[lauriart]

This could get interesting,will be a chain of events...the dominoe effect. Anyone who supports or donated to the war...

3:30 I contacted this man 4 yrs ago. Canada ratified the Rome Statute of the ICC in July 2000 making it illegal to send troops in 2002 to participate in any wars. Anyone paying tax in Canada since 2002 is complicit in war crimes. The blame lies with the leaders but ultimately with the people if they do nothing. Since 2002 I have not met one man with the courage to stand with me or use this knowledge. I have been victimized, harassed, targeted since. The last year has been the heaviest.

war is their greatest asset....

war is a business...

people the world over of all races,

ordinary everyday folk like you and me ; want peace, love and respect , our world is not safe until JUSTICE is safe in the hands of THE PEOPLE......

[55mandreck]

war is the greatest scam ever devised -

The banksters lend money to both sides in a conflict .

The bankers win every war - every time ......

and when the war is over the payments - IN TAXATION...go on for DECADES....

[swiv2d]

people in england are being just as musch as the people of america we're no different the only thing that stops us from being as scrutinizing is our focus on america complaining about them where as we don't realise that we are just as responsible

[apsert]

stop funding them lawfully. i have NOT paid a penny in ANY taxation. my car is not taxed and cannot do a thing to stop me. people who know me are starting to see its real and are going through the same process. Which....involves finding out the truth!

To do this process go to- Tpuc . org it is one word.spaces made to allow me to post.

COME ON PEOPLE STAND THE FUCK UP AND TURN OF YOUR TV! MORE SO NEWS!

[joyful1959]

935 lies that lead us into the Iraq war!Apprx. 4,200 US troops dead in Iraq, 500 US troops dead in Afganistan, (as of 12/2007): 1.3 million innocent civilian Iraqis dead, 4 million innocent Iraqis displaced, mostly to Saudi Arabia! So, where did the 935 lies get us? Shame, shame, shame, on Bush/Cheney. They have so much blood on their hands, they will never be able to wash it off! Arrest them both for war crimes! Now!

[ant10011001]

so, its been 8 months and i have not heard a thing about this in any media. its gonna be a hard road and i fear probably for nothing.

comon, we all know how corrupt all these people are, If we see tony Blair in court, I will eat my hat! its not gonna happen

[Rustyshackleford08]

Good, they should get to us first, we are more vulnerable to their influence than the USA is right now. We can be saved and Harper along with the rest of our Parlement can be punished.

[Psy0pAgent]

It applies. I emailed Mr Coverdale and he said that if Canada had ratified the Rome Statute then it all applies. Canada has ratified the Rome Statute and is bound by these laws.
