Greenpeace Response

6 July, 2016

London - In response to the release of the Chilcot report, John Sauven, Executive Director of Greenpeace UK, said :

“This report confirms what we already knew - that the Blair government led Britain into a disastrous war on a drumbeat of exaggerated threats, guesswork dressed as intelligence, and windy rhetoric. The formidable challenges humanity is facing today require international cooperation more than ever before. We cannot have a healthy environment without peace, and we cannot have peace without a healthy environment. This is why Greenpeace will keep campaigning for both.

You cross a neighbour's lawn to stop a mugging. The police arrest you for trespass. In your defence in court, wouldn't you say the fact that you were attempting to stop a crime would be a relevant fact?

Greenpeace to ask House of Lords to consider legality of Iraq war

Greenpeace today announced that it will ask the House of Lords to consider its case that the war against Iraq was an illegal act of aggression (1).

The move follows today's Appeal ruling that the 14 Greenpeace protestors who engaged in protests to prevent the build up to war could not appeal on the basis that they were preventing individuals from committing war crimes (1). This was one of the two key legal arguments that the protestors tried to use in their initial court case, the other being that the war itself was illegal under international law.

Nuclear Investigations from Iraq

Nuclear Investigations from Iraq

A US military health physicist and radiation expert in Iraq has endorsed a call from Greenpeace for the UN nuclear experts, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), to be given a full mandate to search, survey and decontaminate towns and villages around the Tuwaitha nuclear facility near Baghdad

When they invaded Iraq, the US and UK failed to safeguard dangerous nuclear material, secured at Tuwaitha while under Saddam Hussein's regime, and highly radioactive materials have ended up in local communities where they are threatening people's health and environment.

The links between the Bush administration and Esso are an "open secret" in the US. A Deutsche Bank report stated that Esso's "political clout" means it "may find itself in pole position in a changed-regime Iraq".
