Report and Evidence of War Crimes not being taken seriously

Andrew B made this Freedom of Information request to Independent Police Complaints Commission

Independent Police Complaints Commission did not have the information requested.

From: Andrew B

20 May 2009

Dear Sir or Madam,

Please first read the article on this link:

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/...

Now, the point is this. From the information in that article, and
hundreds of others over the years of the occupation of Iraq and
Afghanistan you will comprehend, I’m sure, that the actions of the
U.K. Government, in waging war in Afghanistan and Iraq, causing the
deaths of innocent civilians are illegal in law. And they
constitute the crimes of genocide and a crime against peace.

Having tried to report this crime at my local police station and
being told that crimes could not be reported there, i contacted the
number given by the policeman at the desk to report the crime and
was fobbed off with "As you didn't witness the crime i.e want in
Iraq/Afghanistan at the time) i was wasting my time and was
basically told not to call again regarding this matter.

I would like to know exactly how we the british public are to
report warcrimes and crimes of treason? As i have tried my local
Police Station, The Home Office (Via FOI Request) and the
Metropolitan Police Service, so far without response.

Please accept this next section as a report of crime which i and
many others would like investigated.

The law states that:

'It is an offence against the law of England and Wales for a person
to commit genocide, a crime against humanity or a war crime, or to
engage in conduct ancillary to such an act. This applies to acts
committed in England and Wales or outside the United Kingdom by a
U.K. national, resident or person subject to U.K. service
jurisdiction.' See:

International Criminal Court Act 2001
http://www.oup.com/uk/orc/bin/9780199203...

'Genocide' means any of the following acts committed with intent to
destroy in whole or in part a national, ethical, racial or
religious group as such

(a) killing members of the group;
(b) causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life
calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in
part..

Whosoever shall aid, abet, counsel or procure the commission of any
indictable offence, whether the same be an offence at common law or
by virtue of any Act passed or to be passed, shall be liable to be
tried, indicted, and punished as a principal offender.

“War is essentially an evil thing. Its consequences are not
confined to the belligerent states alone, but affect the whole
world. To initiate a war of aggression therefore, is not only an
international crime, it is the supreme international crime
differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within
itself the accumulated evil of the whole.”

~ Nuremburg War Crimes Tribunal

We have laws against waging war. When Britain signed The General
Treaty for the Renunciation of War in 1928, we gave a firm and
binding commitment to the world that we would never go to war
again. This treaty is still in force, yet Tony Blair and our
Government reneged on this treaty and have involved Britain in five
wars in eight years.

We have laws against the use of armed force. In 1945 Britain helped
to found the United Nations. We pledged with every country in the
world that we would never use force against any of them. In 2003
our Government violated that solemn and binding agreement by
invading and occupying Iraq and killing thousands of its people.

We have laws against killing people, yet our government have killed
at least 50,000 people in six years. None of the victims had
committed a crime or attacked Britain, none of them had been
allowed to argue their case in court and none of them were shown
any mercy before they were massacred. These killings are acts of
murder.

We have laws against landmines. Stimulated by Princess Diana, the
world agreed never to use landmines again and in 1998 Britain
enacted the Landmines Act outlawing the use of anti-personnel
explosives. Yet British and American forces dropped over one
million cluster bomblets on Iraq in two years, killing and maiming
thousands of children.

We have laws against genocide. The International Criminal Court Act
2001 makes it a crime for British residents to commit genocide,
crimes against humanity or war crimes. In 2003, 414 MPs ordered an
armed attack on Iraq, killing over 20,000 innocent people. This was
genocide, the worst crime ever committed by British citizens.

And we have a law against funding genocide . The
InternationalCriminal Court Act introduced the crime of ‘conduct
ancillary to genocide’. This makes it an offence to aid, abet or
assist in an act of genocide. Paying tax assists the Government to
commit genocide in Iraq. It is every taxpayer’s duty in law to stop
paying
tax now.

We have the laws so now we must enforce them. Our Government and
Parliament are committing the worst crimes known to mankind and
getting away with them, because the Police and Crown Prosecution
Service fail to do what they are paid to do. They must arrest and
prosecute the 414 MPs who voted in favour of war, with the crimes
of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. Criminals must
answer for their crimes in court.

As already explained i have tried reporting this crime at a police
station, to the metropolitan police via FOI request and submittal
of evidence, via the Home Office and the Crown Prosecution Service
and none of them would entertain me, i find this an absolute insult
as a man born on british soil to be led to believe the LAW in this
country does not apply to the politicians we the people put into a
position of governence (Not RULE).

I want this report taken seriously, investigated in full and upon
conclusion, arrests be made if neccessary of al those involved.

Yours sincerely,

Andrew B
