A new report by the International Criminal Court (ICC) released Wednesday found that British troops likely committed war crimes in Iraq between 2003 and 2009. However, the global court has decided not to open an investigation.
The 184-page report found evidence linking a pattern of war crimes carried out for years against Iraqis held in custody, many of whom were civilians, citing torture, rape, other forms of sexual violence and beatings so badly that those in custody later died from their injuries.
