Daily Law Notes Report Summary 
House of Lords Judgment
The crime of aggression was not capable of being a crime under
English domestic law; protesters against the Iraq war who
disrupted operational activities at military bases in England
could not therefore justify their conduct on the ground that they
were preventing a "crime" within s 3 of the 1967 Act or "an
offence" under s 68 of the 1994 Act.
