In an alternative to trial in the International Criminal Court, several members of the British military may face court-martial for allegations of war crimes, which include, in one case, charges of manslaughter levied against seven servicemen, according to a news report.
While it is reassuring that the British legal system monitors the activities of its military, one wonders what the result is to the morale of British forces in the region. Nevertheless, if war crimes were committed, and if an investigation so determines, there should be no reason why justice should not prevail.
