A campaign has begun to have those responsible for the illegal invasion of Iraq and the subsequent war crimes committed to be taken to the International Criminal Court to explain their actions. Australia is a signatory and therefore John Howard, Alexander Downer and Robert Hill can be taken before the ICC to explain their role in the war crimes committed in Iraq. A campaign has begun in the USA to have George W Bush taken before the ICC though problems may arise as the USA is not a signatory to the ICC (it thinks it is special and should be exempt). In Britain it has been argued that according to legal advice, Tony Blair can be taken to the ICC as Britain is a signatory. Saddam's record of war crimes is extensive and action can also be taken against him and members of his dictatorship.

Letters demanding George W bush appear in the ICC have already been sent to the Court. Momentum is now gathering for a similar campaign for Bush's accomplices, Blair and his ministers, and Howard, Downer and Hill. Saddam and his accomplices also need to be brought to account for their reign of terror in Iraq. All these leaders must be shown that people are not disposable objects to be used in their disputes and for their own agendas. There is sufficient evidence to warrant legal action against all those responsible for the human rights abuses and war crimes commited by the governments of the USA, Iraq, Australia and Britain. The world cannot stand by and allow governments to bomb civilians, kill and maim children, destroy water supplies and use weapons such as cluster bombs.

Letters requesting immediate investigation and legal action against those responsible for the Iraqi massacre can be sent to the International Criminal Court in the Netherlands.

This campaign is important as it exposes the hypocrisy surrounding the use of terror. The above mentioned governments are willing to use terror, kill civilians including children and destroy a nation in order to achieve their aims. As we head into a new century, leaders must not be allowed to continue committing war crimes and human rights abuses. We cannot accept their excuses and warped logic that what has occurred in Iraq is justified. Killing children can never be justified. We cannot allow govermnents to launch attacks which leave whole families killed, children maimed and millions suffering.
