Jeremy Corbyn says criminal investigations into British Iraq veterans should continue because the UK must "recognise international laws".

The Iraq Historic Allegations Team (Ihat) which was set up by Gordon Brown is investigating almost 1,500 allegations of mistreatment and unlawful killing of Iraqis while a separate inquiry, Operation Northmoor, is looking at more than 550 allegations of abuse in Afghanistan dating back to 2005.

Public Interest Lawyers, a law firm representing almost all the Iraqis making abuse claims against the British troops, folded in the summer after it was stripped of legal aid over claims of irregularities over its work in Iraq.

Opponents of Ihat say many of the claims are vexatious or spurious.

But Mr Corbyn said: "I have spoken to a number of soldiers that have served in Afghanistan and Iraq and I recognise the awful conditions that they were asked to serve under, and the difficulties they had with that.

"But I do think there has to be a recognition that we have signed up for international law on the behaviour of troops. America is going through the same experience, as do other European countries even though they’re not signed up to the International Criminal Court. So I think there has to be investigations. Saying never to prosecute I think would be a step too far."
