‘Sir Michael, who was the
most senior legal adviser at the Foreign Office at the time of the
invasion, told the inquiry he disagreed with the advice of Lord
Goldsmith, the former attorney general, that military intervention was
lawful.
“I considered that the
use of force against Iraq in March 2003 was contrary to international
law,” he said in a written statement.
“In my opinion, that use of force had not been authorised by the
(United Nations) Security Council, and had no other basis in
international law”.’
