06/16/05 - - Philippe Sands, QC, director of the Centre for International Courts and Tribunals at University College London, said Mr Howard, along with British Prime Minister Tony Blair could face charges amid claims the Iraq war was illegal.
Professor Sands said United States President George W Bush and US Secretary of Defence Donald Rumsfeld also could find themselves in similar predicaments.
Professor Sands says if Mr Blair or Mr Howard travel to such countries after they've left office they could face prosecution, but said Mr Howard is a softer target given Australia has less political clout in the world than the US or Britain.
