To The President of The United Nations General Assembly, H.E. Father Miguel dEscoto Brockmann, and The Attorney General of the United Kingdom, and their successors in office.

RE ANTHONY CHARLES LYNTON BLAIR

We, the citizens of the United Kingdom and other countries listed, wish to uphold The United Nations Charter, The 1998 Rome Statute of The International Criminal Court, The Hague and Geneva Conventions and the Rule of International Law, especially in respect of:-

1: 1949 Geneva Convention IV: Article 146
The High Contracting Parties undertake to enact any legislation necessary to provide effective penal sanctions for persons committing, or ordering to be committed, any of the grave breaches of the present Convention.

2: 1907 Hague Convention IV: Article 3
A belligerent party which violates the provisions of the said regulations shall, if the case demands, be liable to pay compensation. It shall be responsible for all the acts committed by persons forming part of its armed forces.

We therefore call on you to indict Anthony Charles Lynton Blair in his capacity as recent Prime Minister of the UK, so long as he is able to answer for his actions and however long it takes, in respect of our sample complaints relating to the 2003 Iraq War waged by the UK as ally to the United States of America.

We are concerned that without justice and respect for the rule of law, the future for us and our progeny in a lawless world is bleak, as revealed by recent US declarations about the use of torture and the events of December 2008 in Gaza show.


The following are our sample complaints relating to the Iraq War 2003-2009:

1: Deceit and conspiracy for war, and providing false news to incite passions for war, causing in the order of one million deaths, 4 million refugees, countless maimings and traumas.

2: Employing radioactive ammunition causing long-term destruction of the planetary habitat.

3: Causing the breakdown of civil administration, with consequent lawlessness, especially looting, kidnapping, and violence, and consequent breakdown of womens rights, of religious freedom, and child and adult education.

4: Failing to maintain the medical needs of the populace.

5: Despoliation of the cultural heritage of the country.

6: Supporting an ally that employs waterboarding and other tortures.

7: Seizing the assets of Iraq.

8: Using inhumane restraints on prisoners, including dogs, hoods, and cable ties.

9: Using Aggressive Patrolling indiscriminately, traumatising women and children and wrecking homes and property.

10: Marking bodies of prisoners with numbers, writing, faeces and other degrading treatment.

11: The use of cluster bombs and other indiscriminate weapons including white phosphorous on shake and bake missions.

12: Supporting indiscriminate rocket attacks from F16 fighter planes on women and children in Fallujah in Nov 2004

13: Supporting the shooting up of ambulances and medical personnel in Fallujah in Nov 2004

14: Supporting the expulsion of the entire population of Fallujah save for young men of military age, for a reprisal attack on that city in Nov 2004.

    • I fully approve; in France famous international laywers could join the move. I have contacted 2 just after the 20 march 2003 bombings over Baghdad, as an Iraqi friend lost her brother on the early hours and accepted to sign a complaint against the US led coalition, but details of the UK war flights are necessary to target UK specifically as signatory of Roma treaty about Intl penal Court

    • I Edward Horgan am International Secretary of the Irish Peace and Neutrality Alliance, and a researcher at the University of Limerick on the subjects of international peace and United Nations Reform. I strongly recommend that Mr Tony Blair, and other European leaders who have been complicit in the war crimes committed in Afghanistan and Iraq, be indicted by the United Nations, and by the International Criminal Court, and be brought to trial for crimes against humanity.

    • Already guilty of treason for betraying the will, safety and interest of UK citizens by lying and dragging the country into 2 wars that serve only his US masters, he deserves to be hanged for the atrocities he has wreaked on the civilian populations of Iraq and Afghanistan. A cell in the Hague is the least he should face.

    • As a lawyer Tony Blair knows what a crime is and knowingly chose to commit war crimes. As a consequence, he and the other sociopaths should be tried and if convicted removed from society as a safeguard on behalf of the rest of us.
