The Divisional Court held on 31 July 2017 that Aggression is not a crime under the law of the UK, rejecting an application for issue of Summons against Tony Blair and members of his Government accusing them of having committed the crime of Aggression in invading Iraq in 2003.
We have today initiated action before the European Court of Human Rights claiming that the UK Government acted in breach of the European Convention on Human Rights in denying General Al Rabbat his rights under Article 13, 14, 9, 7 and 6.
