Prime Ministerial Exercise of the War Prerogative in the Iraq Affair: an Analysis Prime Ministerial Exercise of the War Prerogative in the Iraq Affair: An Analysis. Rebecca Zaytoonnejad Moosavian MPhil 2009 Prime Ministerial Exercise of the War Prerogative in the Iraq Affair: An Analysis Rebecca Zaytoonnejad Moosavian LL.B (Hons), PCAP, Solicitor (non-practising) This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Master of Philosophy of the University of Northumbria at Newcastle. School of Law August 2009 Abstract ‘Prime Ministerial Exercise of the War Prerogative in the Iraq Affair: An Analysis’ This study sets out to investigate an arcane, ancient and currently unreformed area of the British constitution; the war prerogative. This Crown power continues to lie with the monarch at law, though in political reality it is exercised by the Prime Minister with the support of Parliament. The war power has come to vest in the Prime Minister due to the office’s colonisation and resultingly close interrelationship with the institution of monarchy. The study will argue that there are prevailing cultural, structural and legal influences of monarchy which potentially benefit the premier in his exercise of the war prerogative. This and related issues will be afforded specific and detailed consideration in the context of the March 2003 decision to deploy troops in Iraq. The Iraq affair constitutes an invaluable case study as one of the most controversial warfare decisions in recent history, one that generated topical debate and new scrutiny of the war prerogative. This study conducts a detailed investigation of the legal and constitutional checks and balances upon the prime ministerial war prerogative with specific focus upon their operation in the Iraq affair. The study discusses significant shortcomings in the functioning of constitutional checks in the lead up to military action in Iraq, particularly the convention of collective Cabinet responsibility and the requirement that Parliament supports warfare. The study also appraises the efficacy of legal checks upon the war and related prerogatives in the judicial arena; it considers developments over the course of the broad Iraq period, paying specific attention to advances in judicial review. The roles of constitutional components such as the Crown and conventions in these constitutional dynamics are identified and analysed where relevant. Furthermore, the extent to which post-Iraq proposed reforms might overhaul the area and address constitutional inadequacies will be considered. In undertaking its investigation into this constitutional area the study employs two analytical devices which provide illuminating insights upon the war power, the checks upon it and its exercise by Mr Blair in the Iraq affair. The first device involves the identification and exploration of divergences between the legal framework governing this area and the political reality occurring beneath. Applying this device exposes material contradictions between the law and reality in this area, allows the accuracy and efficacy of legal terminology to be assessed and finally reveals assumptions or ideologies underlying the legal framework. Over the course of this study it is argued that the various disparities between the law and political reality in this area act to benefit the Prime Minister in his exercise of the war prerogative. The second device entails careful consideration of the role of boundaries between law and non-law (particularly politics) in this area. Such boundaries play a central role in judicial understandings of both conventions and prerogative power, and are vital to the maintenance of coherence and legal purity in this area. This study focuses particularly upon the judicial erection of boundaries that distinguish between justiciable and non-justiciable prerogatives such as the war power. It demonstrates that despite appearances of progress in judicial review, these boundaries are based upon selective judicial interpretations and approaches to evidence which inherently act to favour government. Thus, in disputes concerning the war and related prerogatives the judiciary is institutionally incapable of political neutrality, instead being geared towards the support of strong government.

  • Written Constitution for the UK
    Contents Page Mapping the Path towards Codifying - or Not Codifying - the UK Constitution ROBERT BLACKBURN, PhD, LLD, Solicitor Professor of Constitutional Law Centre for Political and Constitutional Studies King's College London PROGRAMME OF RESEARCH Aims This programme of research has been prepared at the formal request1 of the House of Commons Political and Constitutional Reform Committee chaired by Graham Allen MP to assist its inquiry, and the policy debate generally, on the proposal to codify - or not - the UK constitution. The work been prepared in an impartial way, adopting a pragmatic approach to the issues involved, and does not seek to advocate either codification or non-codification. Its purpose is to inform the inquiry of the issues involved and, in the event that a government in the future might wish to implement such a proposal, it seeks to provide a starting point and set of papers to help facilitate the complex and sensitive issues of substance and process that would be involved. Structure of the Research The content starts (Part I) by identifying, and giving a succinct account of, the arguments for and against a written constitution, prepared in rhetorical manner. It then (Part II) sets out a series of three illustrative blueprints, prepared in the belief that a consideration of detailed alternative models on how a codified constitution might be designed and drafted will better inform and advance the debate on the desirability or not of writing down the constitution into one documentary source. These are - (1) Constitutional Code - a document sanctioned by Parliament but without statutory authority, setting out the essential existing elements and principles of the constitution and workings of government.

E-mail: [email protected] Received: January 6, 2021 Accepted: February 3, 2021 Online Published: February 12, 2021 doi:10.5539/ilr.v10n1p101 URL: https://doi.org/10.5539/ilr.v10n1p101 A previous article has looked at modernising the law on the Crown, see Modernising the Constitution - A Crown Act.1 This article looks at the same in respect of Parliament. It may be noted, from the outset, that the legislation - and common law - on Parliament, is much simpler and less complicated than that on the Crown. Indeed, a large amount of this legislation is administrative (mundane) in nature. Also, much is non-contentious, having given rise to little caselaw. Further, there is a compelling case for consolidation since there are, presently, c. 68 Acts relating to Parliament, but they contain only c. 280 sections and much of the same is obsolete or couched in antiquated language which is scarcely intelligible. Thus, the essential issues are the following: Consolidation of Parliamentary Legislation; Modernising Crown Prerogatives relating to Parliament. In the latter case, most Crown prerogatives are now obsolete - as reflects the position after the Glorious Revolution of 1688. And, the few worth retaining should be placed in legislation - in order to give greater consistency and coherency to the same.

    Chequers Estate Act 1917 (c. 55) 1 SCHEDULE Document Generated: 2021-04-30 Changes to legislation: There are currently no known outstanding effects for the Chequers Estate Act 1917, SCHEDULE. (See end of Document for details) SCHEDULE Sir Arthur Hamilton Lee of Chequers in the county of Buckingham, having expressed his desire and intention to transfer forthwith the ownership of the Chequers Estate together with certain chattels and moneys as a free gift (in trust) to the nation subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, and in order that the house may be used and maintained in perpetuity as the official country residence of the British Prime Minister, and having more particularly explained the object of his gift in the following words:— “It is not possible to foresee or foretell from what classes or conditions of life the future wielders of power in this country will be drawn. Some may be as in the past men of wealth and famous descent; some may belong to the world of trade and business; others may spring from the ranks of the manual toilers. To none of these in the midst of their strenuous and responsible labours could the spirit and anodyne of Chequers do anything but good. In the city-bred man especially, the periodic contact with the most typical rural life would create and preserve a just sense of proportion between the claims of town and country. To the revolutionary statesman the antiquity and calm tenacity of Chequers and its annals might suggest some saving virtues in the continuity of English history and exercise a check upon too hasty upheavals, whilst even the most reactionary could scarcely be insensible to the spirit of human freedom which permeates the countryside of Hampden, Burke and Milton.
