    1 the Chilcot Report Some Thoughts on International Law And

    The Chilcot Report Some Thoughts on International Law and Legal Advice James A Green and Stephen Samuel+ Abstract The Report of the Iraq (Chilcot) Inquiry was finally published, 7 years after the Inquiry’s creation, on 6 July 2016. The scope of the Inquiry’s work was vast, and this was reflected in the enormous size of its final Report. The publication of the Report thus raises a multitude of questions requiring further analysis. In this short article, we aim to contribute some initial thoughts, immediately following the Report’s publication, in just two (interrelated) areas. First, we comment on the role of international law in the Chilcot Inquiry. To what extent was international law considered and how was it presented in the Report? We also ask whether the Report reaches any implicit substantive legal conclusions, despite formally refraining from determinations of law. Secondly, we review the Inquiry’s findings concerning international legal advice and legal advisers. In particular, we contribute some thoughts on the Report’s treatment of questions relating to the appropriate recipients of legal advice and its transparency, the timeliness of advice, the perception and treatment of law and legal advice by the Government, and the independence and quality of that advice. Professor of Public International Law, University of Reading. + Doctoral Candidate, University of Reading. The authors would like to thank April Longstaffe for her research assistance and the ESRC funded ‘Commissions of Inquiry: Problems and Prospects’ project based at the Human Rights and International Law Unit, University of Liverpool, for the financial support both in relation to financing April’s work for us and for funding our trip to Liverpool in January 2015 (well before the publication of the Chilcot Report in July 2016) to present a work-in-progress version of our underpinning research.

    Written evidence from Dr Samantha Newbery (CHIS0009) Biography A researcher specialising in intelligence and counter-terrorism, Dr Newbery’s forthcoming book addresses the intersection of the use of informers (also known as agents and covert human intelligence sources (CHIS)) and criminality during ‘the troubles’ in Northern Ireland. The book’s themes and cases are directly relevant to this Bill. Dr Newbery’s previous research also addressed policy-making on human rights issues. Her book Interrogation, Intelligence and Security (Manchester University Press, 2015) considered legal and ethical questions raised by the UK’s use of controversial interrogation techniques for counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency since 1945, techniques that were found to be in breach of the European Convention on Human Rights. She is also co-author of Why Spy? The Art of Intelligence (Hurst, 2015) with the late Brian Stewart CMG, a former Deputy Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service. Executive Summary 1. A statutory power to authorise criminal conduct by CHIS This written evidence is in favour of efforts to establish a statutory power to authorise criminal conduct by CHIS. It is appropriate that the Bill covers all public authorities that RIPA permits to use CHIS. Authorisations should only be granted after being approved by an independent review. 2. Immunity from prosecution The ability to prosecute current and former CHIS is essential. The fact that the Bill does not grant them immunity from prosecution should be made clearer to the public, to CHIS and to the handlers to whom CHIS report, either in the Bill itself or through associated publicity.
