Joint submission to the Chilcot Enquiry

Back in January-February 2010, Peter Stone of UK Blue Shield co-ordinated a joint submission to the Chilcot Enquiry. The submission is referred to in paragraphs 801-826 of the Chilcot Report, published today, but I can't find it on the Iraq Inquiry website. As a contributor to, and editor of, that report (though not a signatory — I was Vice-Chair of BISI's council at the time), and as it was always meant to be a public document, I thought I'd post it here, along with the cover letter and press release issued with it, on 17 February 2010.

These documents were submitted on behalf of:

  • UK National Commission for UNESCO
  • British Academy
  • British Institute for the Study of Iraq
  • Council for British Archaeology
  • European Association of Archaeologists
  • Institute for Archaeologists
  • International Council on Monuments and Sites UK
  • International Council of Museums UK
  • Museums Association
  • National Trust
  • Nautical Archaeology Society
  • Society of Antiquaries of London
  • UK & Ireland Committee of the Blue Shield.
