Blair And Howard could face charges over Iraq - lawyer
Philippe Sands, QC, director of the Centre for International Courts
and Tribunals at University College London, said Mr Howard, along
with British Prime Minister Tony Blair could face charges amid
claims the Iraq war was illegal.
Professor Sands said United States President George W Bush and US
Secretary of Defence Donald Rumsfeld also could find themselves in
similar predicaments.
Professor Sands says if Mr Blair or Mr Howard travel to such
countries after they've left office they could face prosecution,
but said Mr Howard is a softer target given Australia has less
political clout in the world than the US or Britain, writes
Information Clearing House.
