British MPs Call for World Court Ruling on Iraq War 26 minutes ago LONDON (Reuters) - Forty British parliamentarians have asked U.N Secretary-General Kofi Annan (news - web sites) to seek the opinion of the U.N.'s International Court of Justice on the legality of the Iraq (news - web sites) war, the Daily Mirror newspaper reported on Monday. It said that the cross-party group, which had written a letter to Annan dated July 20, believes Prime Minister Tony Blair (news - web sites)'s government breached the U.N.'s charter when it joined the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. The letter asked for an "advisory opinion" from the court in the Hague. "Lots of people have concerns about the legitimacy of the war and it seems we do need to have clarification on this," said Alan Simpson, an MP from Blair's own ruling Labour party, who is leading the group. The British public has long been suspicious of the motives behind the invasion of Iraq and a report earlier this month by former civil servant Lord Butler has given Blair's critics fresh ammunition to question his credibility. news.yahoo.com
