- Former British PM Tony Blair To Be Arrest For War Crimes
UK citizens will get a cash reward by attempting to peacefully arrest former British prime minister Tony Blair for war crimes.
“The only question that counts is the one that the Chilcot inquiry won’t address: was the war with Iraq illegal? If the answer is yes, everything changes.
The war is no longer a political matter, but a criminal one, and those who commissioned it should be committed for trial for what the Nuremberg tribunal called “the supreme international crime”: the crime of aggression.
But there’s a problem with official inquiries in the United Kingdom: the government appoints their members and sets their terms of reference.
It’s the equivalent of a criminal suspect being allowed to choose what the charges should be, who should judge his case and who should sit on the jury.
However, Monbiot – who previously tried to arrest former US under-secretary of state John Bolton during a British literary festival – also noted in the column that “you cannot yet be prosecuted for mass ¬murder commissioned overseas.”
