Ottawa - The Canadian house of commons called unanimously on Thursday for the establishment of an international tribunal to try Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and other Iraqi officials for genocide and other crimes.

Canada's Liberal government has refused to join the US-led war on Iraq, upsetting the United States, but it agreed on Thursday to support a motion by the right-leaning Canadian Alliance party asking for such a tribunal.

The motion, adopted unanimously by the house of commons, parliament's elected chamber, calls on the government to help "bring to justice Saddam Hussein and all other Iraqi officials responsible for genocide and crimes against humanity and war crimes - including through the formation of an international criminal tribunal."
