The legislation makes it clear that if taxpayers continue to pay tax or tax collectors continue to collect tax, knowing that some of it will be used to wage war and contribute to the deaths of innocent men women and children, they become accessories to the crimes of their Government and criminally liable for arrest, prosecution and punishment as war criminals. Contrary to the UK Governments repeated claims of legality, each of the wars fought or supported by Britain since 2001 against Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria is illegal in both international and domestic law. By using cruise missiles, rockets, bombs, drones and radioactive munitions to attack and kill thousands of civilians, Britain’s leaders violated the binding terms of the Kellogg-Briand Pact, the UN Charter, the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, the International Criminal Court Act 2001 and the Terrorism Act 2000. Many of us will find it hard to believe that British Governments could deceive Parliament, the armed forces and the public so totally over such an important issue as the illegality of war. But one only has to read the laws for one’s self to establish the truth of this assertion.
