Malaysia has played host to the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Commission, which has pursued a number of cases of war crimes. In May 2012 the commission found George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, John Yoo, Jay Bybee, Alberto Gonzales, David Addington and William Haynes II guilty in connection with torture carried out at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay, while in November 2011 it found George W. Bush and Tony Blair guilty of crimes against peace in connection with the 2003 Iraq war.
Tony Gosling has suggested Malaysia's dogged insistence on the rule of international law may have influenced the fates of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 and Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.
