Greenpeace UK actions taken against the war and their legal consequences

Publication date: February 2004

Summary
Greenpeace opposed the war in Iraq and campaigned actively to prevent it. We made submissions to the Foreign Affairs Select Committee on the illegality of the war, and issued various public statements on the subject. Greenpeace UK also took a series of actions over a period of ten days in the lead up to the Iraq war to prevent the transport of military hardware to the Gulf.
