Tony Blair should stand trial for war crimes if the Chilcot Inquiry rules the former prime minister broke international law by invading Iraq in 2003, Labour leadership candidate Jeremy Corbyn has said. The surprise frontrunner in the contest said he was convinced the war was „illegal.“ Speaking on BBC Newsnight, the MP for Islington North said Blair should stand trial „if he has committed a war crime, yes. Everybody who has committed a war crime should be.“ He added the former Labour prime minister, who orchestrated the invasion with then-US President [sic] George W. Bush, should „confess“ to any plans he made with the former president.
