The treaty criminalises anybody involved in the CIA secret renditions and forces countries to prosecute those involved. The US has said it will not ratify it.

Britain, Germany, Italy and Spain have also refused to sign.

They have all been associated with the CIA’s kidnapping of terror suspects and with Ireland will be named in a European Parliament report tomorrow. read full story / add a comment

The ‘aluminium tubing’ Prime Minister stated that Obama’s Iraq policy would “completely destabilise and destroy Iraq”.
