Speeches by Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamed

Expose War Crimes: Criminalise War
Speech by H.E. Tun Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad at Imperial College, London on 25.04.2008

It is heartening to be asked to speak on criminalizing war – a subject that needs to be taken up by all civilized people. How can we claim to be civilized when we condone and legalise mass killings of men, women and children, the old and the sick as a solution to conflicts between nations. We usually consider the most successful killers, the ones who do the most amount of damage as the winners and they are entitled to put thr losers on trial and punish them, including murdering them. The judges in these courts are nationals of the winning countries. There can be no impartiality.
