Reporting of War Crimes not being taken seriously by Police

Andrew B made this Freedom of Information request to Crown Prosecution Service

Crown Prosecution Service did not have the information requested.

From: Andrew B

19 May 2009

Dear Sir or Madam,

Dear Sirs,

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, 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.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

“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 International
Criminal 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.

Dear Sir

Freedom of Information Act 2000 Request

I refer to your email below in relation to reporting of war crimes.

It may be helpful if I explain that the CPS is responsible for reviewing
and, where appropriate, prosecuting most criminal cases in England and
Wales following an investigation by the police. The CPS is also
responsible for providing legal advice to the police about cases,
although we cannot provide legal advice to members of the public.

The CPS is not an investigative body and has no power to investigate
allegations of crime. Therefore, if you believe that a criminal offence
has been committed, it should be reported to the police so that an
appropriate course of action can be taken.

Yours sincerely

Dear Freedom of Information Unit,

Thank you for your response,

What i am after is Information regarding what the process is for
having the crime report in my last letter investigated when it sems
the police in this country do not want to acknowledge the idea that
our government has committed crimes against humanity.

I was under the impression that in Great Britain no one was above
the law.

Yours sincerely,

Andrew B

Dear Sir

Further to your email below, as explained the CPS is not the appropriate
body to deal with your enquiry. I should also emphasise that the
Freedom of Information Act 2000 gives a general right of access to all
types of recorded information held by Public Authorities.

As you have already approached the Home Office without success, I
suggest you submit your enquiry to the Ministry of Defence (link
attached below for ease of reference) who may be able to assist.

You may also wish to approach the Independent Police Complaints
Commission.

You want me to respect murderers?, oh sorry thats right our military kills for the government and the corporations. If your blind enough to think you were out their fighting for the people of Iraq or Afghanistan then you deserve that bullet in your head that is in some enemies gun somewhere. Kill 1 person your a murderer, kill for the government your a hero.

I suggest you go watch the Zeitgeist Addendum, just google it, and go wake yourself up before you and the rest of the brainwashed military canon fodder kill more innocent people.

polish a turd its still a turd. Everyone knows the Military is nothing but canon fodder for the financial & political elite to further their capitalist ideals in countries they have no business being in. Hired Killers.. nothing more, and scum of the earth.

ANDREW B

You have my complete support.
I am entirely aware that the military have been subverted by the establishment for their own agenda and it is up to EVERYBODY INCLUDING members of the military, past and present, to bring these parties to justice.
I commend you for having the courage to pose such questions.
I am currently asking questions of my own.

Thank you Dean for the courage that you and your comrades have shown. As for the rest, ignore the yapping of curs who know all about rights but naught of duty and honour.

This particular 'yapping cur' comes from a military family. My deceased father was a decorated veteran veteran of both WW2 and the Korean War.

He is from an era when our Ministry of Defence actually 'defended' rather than invaded.

My brother is ex-Parachute Regiment and Special Air Service. His exploits were rather less tasteful and included deliberately killing innocent civilians.

If anyone does not believe that your governments would sanction the murder of innocent civilians, then you should read this document from the American National Security Archives.

http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/news/200104...

Also read the government think tank document 'Project for the New American Century' from the year 2000.
The section entitled 'Rebuilding America's Defenses'
calls for 'a new Pearl Harbour' in order to accelerate
the global domination of America.

I am surprised that you would be willing to bask in the reflected glory of your father's service given your attitude. Still, consistency never is a strong point amongst those whose political beliefs exist only in the negative.
