Where the public sets the agenda
The Bomb on Trial
'Can nuclear weapons be used without committing crimes against peace, crimes against humanity and war crimes?' 'If not, is it legal to possess and deploy them?'
'Are the military and political leaders of the nuclear powers above the law?'
Key questions for the Nuclear Warfare Tribunal which was convened in London earlier this year by Lawyers for Nuclear Disarmament because of growing concern among international legal authorities.
The witnesses came from all over the world and were examined and cross-examined by professional advocates before an eminent tribunal of judges, including three Nobel Prize winners, chaired by the international jurist Sean MacBride. Videotape editor STEVE KNATTRESS
