Warrant Sought for the Arrest of Henry Kissinger

An attempt to have former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger arrested in Britain for war crimes has failed. Human Rights campaigner Peter Tatchell applied at Bow Street Magistrates’ Court for a warrant for the arrest of Dr Kissinger under the Geneva Conventions Act 1957. The charges alleged that the 1973 Nobel Peace Prize winner commissioned, aided and abetted and procured war crimes in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia
