Defendant damaged RAF property to try and prevent the damage to others’ property in the Iraq war which Defendant believed to be illegal.
Defendant relied on defence of private defence AND necessity but was convicted.
CA said that s.3 Criminal Law Act 1967 (private defence) AND necessity only related to the prevention of a domestic “crime”, and “international aggression” was not justiciable in national courts.
Thus appeal dismissed.
