Reporting of War Crimes

Andrew B made this Freedom of Information request to Home Office

Home Office did not have the information requested.

From: Andrew B

25 April 2009

Dear Sir or Madam,

You may consider my request for information to be under the Freedom
of Information Act or just simply a question from a concerned Human
Being, native to the Country commonly called England (having been
born therein), and it being your duty, as a public body, to
honourably answer questions about your activities.

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 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 didnt witness the crime i.e wasnt 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 war crimes and crimes of treason?

Please also accept this next section as a report of crime which
requires investigation.

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.expose-the-system.org/resourc...

'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.

See: Accessories and Abettors Act 1861

Please also consult: Charter of the United Nations
http://www.expose-the-system.org/resourc...

and Evidence of Genocide - Crime Report

Please read this information carefully before responding.

Thank you.

Sincerely without ill-will, vexation, or frivolity,

Andrew B
Yours faithfully,

Andrew B
