OFFICERS in Rutherglen police station were yesterday told that David Cameron had breached international law, as members of campaign group the Scottish Resistance filed a complaint against him for war crimes after MPs voted to back air strikes in Syria.
The police were asked to investigate allegations Cameron had breached Articles one and two of the Kellogg-Briand Pact of 1928, a historical act signed by Australia, Belgium, Canada, Czechoslovakia, France, Germany, British India, the Irish Free State, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Poland, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States.
The pact was used as the legal basis for the Nuremberg Trials but has largely been ignored.
James Scott from the Scottish Resistance spent over an hour explaining to officers why Cameron should be arrested.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
