Should Tony Blair face war charges

As the title says, some suggestion that Tony Blair could still face war charges. After all this time should he be charged?

For deposing a tyrant who had butchered people a decade earlier, of course not.

He simply finished the job. It was a mistake not to execute Saddam a decade earlier.

The level of isolationism in this country sickens me.

Well...the various resolutions justifying Gulf War I did not justify regime change. President Bush Sr. feared that he would be impeached if there was to be regime change. It was to liberate Kuwait, and no more.

Yes...Saddam was an evil ruler. But, if there was to be regime change it had to be done through the proper channels. The context they used with the whole WMD thing was silly. Had they just said, regime change from the start, then your line of thought has more justification.

Remember how they said, back when the Chilcot inquiry finished, back in 2011, that the publication of its findings would be "within months"?? 3 years, 11 months, 8 days later...still nothing...and nothing due until at least after the General election...nearly a full 11 years after the Iraq War.

To the question, let's wait until after the results of Chilcot come through. Then we can send Tony Blair to the Hague. Peace ambassador to the Middle East, was some special kind of irony.

What laws would he actually be charged against? It's all well and good saying an illegal war, but what does that mean? Which British laws have been broken and how would you prosecute?

Absolutely.

He drove us into an illegal war, which was not sanctioned by UN or international law.
His reasons for going in were completely fabricated, that Iraq had WMDs.
Saddam might have been a tyrant but look at the tyrants running around Iraq now. that is the legacy of Bush and Blair's war. They're responsible for the deaths of countless Iraqis and British soldiers who died serving their country in an unnecessary war. If the war was so morally important why did Britain leave?

He also did nothing about Guantanamo Bay where British residents were held and tortured without any charge, for years. I'm all for fighting extremism but do it through the law.

Although not sanctioned by the UN, it wasn't cobdemned by the UN either.

You may want to have a look at which countries were involved in gulf war 2.

By my reckoning there's most of the western nations leaders who are up for the same treatment.

What laws would he actually be charged against? It's all well and good saying an illegal war, but what does that mean? Which British laws have been broken and how would you prosecute?

That's because UN was pressured by US, but everyone there knew it was an illegal war. Ban Ki-Moon even came out and said it before he was hushed.

It's the reasons they gave to invade
1.Saddam had weapons of Mass Destruction
2. Iraq/ or Iraqis had ties to 9/11.
Both of these were completely untrue.

People here are asking what he crimes he committed?: You cant' just invade a sovereign state without legitimate reasons and without support of international law.
Just because US has been doing it ever since the 2nd world war doesn't mean its acceptable.

So you speak on behalf of the UN now?

Saddam, like Gaddafi had broken the nuckear non proliferation treaty obligations and had invaded neighbouring countries on more than one occasion.

I don't have problems with Saddam being removed. I never did when I crossed the border into Iraq in 2003. I till don't. My issue was how the peace was lost due to poor planning.

Yeah but UN investigators went in in 2003 and found nothing. The first Gulf war was about invading Kuwait. This one had nothing to do with it.
