LONDON (AP) — The Nobel laureate Desmond M. Tutu called Sunday for former President George W. Bush and former Prime Minister Tony Blair of Britain to face prosecution at the International Criminal Court for their role in the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

Archbishop Tutu, the Anglican archbishop emeritus of Cape Town, wrote in the British newspaper The Observer that the two former leaders should be made to “answer for their actions.”

The Iraq war “has destabilized and polarized the world to a greater extent than any other conflict in history,” wrote Archbishop Tutu.

“Those responsible for this suffering and loss of life should be treading the same path as some of their African and Asian peers who have been made to answer for their actions in The Hague,” he added.
