Responding to the International Criminal Court (ICC) Prosecutor’s decision to conclude the preliminary examination into allegations of war crimes by the UK military in Iraq, Matthew Cannock, Head of Amnesty International’s Centre for International Justice, said:
‘The Prosecutor’s damning report found that the UK armed forces committed war crimes in Iraq in 2003, including torture and rape, and that victims had been deprived of justice by the UK authorities.
‘The Prosecutor’s decision to conclude the examination provides a road-map for obstructionism. It rewards bad faith and delays brought about by the failure of the UK military and authorities to conduct independent and impartial investigations into allegations in the immediate aftermath of the conflict in Iraq.
