If it is as universal as you seem to suggest, why no action against him?You are completely missing the point I was making.
@Commander said the accusations that Blair’s war on Iraq was ‘illegal’ is an oft repeated line from the ‘right wing press’ by people who have ‘no understanding of international law’
My only point was that it wasn’t/isn’t - prominent Labour MPs have said/say the same, including the current Labour Opposition Leader and Blair‘s own Deputy at the time along with prominent international lawyers and the UN itself.. Therefore, arguments that Blair’s war on Iraq was ‘illegal’ is not a ‘right wing‘ media trope but a view widely held across the board and in the international community too whether you agree with that view or not …it’s disingenuous and unnecessarily partisan to suggest otherwise.
Also, I never claimed it was right wing trope but I was pointing out that the quotes you gave were all opinions as to whether it was in breach. If they were facts then surely something would have been done. However, what did the UN do? They, along with Russia, USA, EU actually made him a peace envoy!!! Don't recall them doing the same for Milosovic!!!
