Make Tony Blair accountable for his invasion of Iraq in 2003.
In 2003, then Prime Minister Tony Blair, joined the US-led invasion of Iraq, a war that has cost the lives of more than half a million people to date. Invading a country before peaceful options have been exhausted, should result in him being prosecuted for war crimes and/or crimes against humanity.
As the report from Sir John Chilcot, released on the 6th of July, states, the "UK chose to join invasion before peaceful options for disarming Saddam had been exhausted".
It concludes that there was no imminent threat from Saddam Hussein and that the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction were presented with a certainty that was not justified.
The government failed to achieve its stated objectives.
