Washington's closest Iraq war ally Britain said it would play no part in any trial of Saddam Hussein that might lead to his execution.
But London also made clear it would reluctantly accept death for the captured ex-dictator if that was what an Iraqi tribunal ruled.
"The United Kingdom is against the death penalty," Britain's senior envoy to Iraq Jeremy Greenstock said.
"So we would have no part of a tribunal or a process that had the death penalty as one of its penalties."
A spokesman for Blair said London would be forced to accept Saddam's execution if a process came to that.
London would understand Iraqis' motives after so much suffering under Saddam, even if it disagreed with execution in principle, Greenstock added.
"Given what he's done, in Iraqi eyes, there would be a justification to that even if we ourselves are against the death penalty. So let him be tried within his own culture," he said.
