Proceeding contribution from Julian Brazier (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 December 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Armed Forces Bill.
Armed Forces Bill
I do not have chapter and verse in front of me, but let me reassure the hon. Gentleman that the provisions of the International Criminal Court Act 2001 produced new offences for commanding officers and senior officers, and they are phrased in such a way that someone can be prosecuted for having failed in principle to do something, by omission. They involve offences that would never have been covered by military law before, which is why they received so much flak in another place.
