Thus the following which have been used in the past and are in breach of IHL are now prohibited:
* Indiscriminate methods of attack against civilian centres such as high level airs strikes and attacks on cities such as Baghdad and Basra.
* Indiscriminate weapons systems such as cluster bombs, fuel-air explosives, multiple rocket launcher systems or weapons using depleted uranium.
* Attacks on Iraqi infrastructure
* Attacks on electricity supplies (so as to cause the death of thousands of innocent civilians because of failed water sanitation plants).
* Attacks on projects likely to release dangerous forces such as civil nuclear energy plants or dams.
The coalition of lawyers and NGOs plan unprecedented action using the ICC legislation as a threat to force the UK to target its use of force and to avoid indiscriminate attacks. If there are violations of IHL (which prohibits indiscriminate attacks) these and other NGOs who will be in Iraq or otherwise in a position to monitor the war will report to a Tribunal of eminent international jurists and others. If the tribunal finds there have been violations it will report to the prosecutor of the ICC and he will be urged to start an investigation of his own initiative as he is empowered to do. Thereafter the coalition will work with the Prosecutor to ensure that the evidence of violations is credible the leaders of the U.K. Government who, under the principle of Command Responsibility, are liable for violations are prosecuted in the Hague.
