Petition Action

Formally Investigate Tony Blair over illegal Iraqi War despite Chilcot Report

Petition Details

4 Reasons to Investigate Blair

1) Blair knowingly launched a war of aggression that broke international law
2) UN Security Council Resolution 1441 did not authorise war
3) Blair lied to help fix the facts around the policy
4) The illegal war on Iraq has caused huge suffering and death

Additional Information

Blair was explicitly warned by his Cabinet Office that a “legal justification for invasion would be needed. Subject to law officers’ advice, none currently exists.” Then Foreign Secretary Jack Straw similarly advised Blair that none of the legal conditions for war had been met.

There are numerous examples of Blair lying, deceiving, and misleading, in order to hype the supposed threat from Iraq, and try and justify war. At least 108,000 Iraqi civilians have died as a result of the illegal war.
