The parents of the Danish soldier killed in Iraq, Bjarke Kirkmand, sue the Danish Prime Minister for breach of the constitution in connection with Denmark's participation in the war against Iraq.

Thus, the courts cannot refuse to accept the case at all, as they might have been tempted to do in the case brought some weeks ago by a group of concerned citizens. read full story / add a comment
