"In Kuala Lumpur, after two years of investigation by the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Commission (KLWCC), a tribunal (the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal, or KLWCT) consisting of five judges with judicial and academic backgrounds reached a unanimous verdict that found George W Bush and Tony Blair guilty of crimes against peace, crimes against humanity, and genocide as a result of their roles in the Iraq War."

Gadhafi’s daughter sues over deadly NATO air strike
The daughter of Muammar Gaddafi has launched a lawsuit for murder following the death in April of four members of her family during a Nato air strike.
Legal papers were submitted to the prosecutor’s office in Brussels on Tuesday by the French lawyer for Aisha Gaddafi.
During the bombing raid on 30 April the Libyan leader’s son Saif el-Arab, 29, as well as three of his grandchildren were killed. Ms Gaddafi’s four-month-old daughter Mastoura was one of those who died.
She argues the coalition forces that carried out the attack are guilty of “war crimes”, stating the air strike did not target a command and control post held by troops loyal to her father, but was a private residence in Tripoli where members of his family were living.
She has demanded investigators “discover, identify and punish those responsible for the murders and their accomplices”.
