**A Dutch inquiry into the run-up to the Iraq war is to issue its report.**The current Dutch government set up the inquiry following the leaking of foreign ministry memos casting doubt on the legal basis for the war.
The Netherlands gave political but not military support to the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
The report has the potential to bitterly embarrass the Dutch government and reinforce the international case against the Iraq war.
The Davids Commission - named after the retired senior judge who leads it - was established just under a year ago, following a political revolt against Prime Minister Jan-Peter Balkenende.
It was Mr Balkenende who, back in 2003, lent political support to the invasion of Iraq.
The justification was then made that UN resolutions had been flouted, but a memo from the time by Dutch foreign ministry lawyers, subsequently leaked, suggested that the war was in fact illegal under international law.
The inquiry has looked into the legality of the war, the quality of Dutch intelligence and the government’s decision-making process.
