Malaysian Activists Hold Symbolic War Crime Trial Of Bush And Blair | Activists in Malaysia will hold a symbolic war crime tribunal to determine if former President George W. Bush and U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair committed “crimes against peace and violated international law in the Iraq invasion,” according to an organizer. The Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal is designed after a 1967 Vietnam War crimes panel convened in Sweden and Denmark that said the U.S. committed “acts of aggression” against Vietnam. The U.S. ignored the 1967 tribunal, and Bush and Blair have not responded to information the activists sent them. “For these people who have been immune from prosecution, we want to put them on trial in this forum to prove that they committed war crimes,” Malaysian lawyer Yaacob Hussain Marican told the Associated Press. If Bush and Blair are found guilty, the tribunal will enter their names into a symbolic “Register of War Criminals.”
