What to Do About Trump’s War Crimes

Foreign Policy : “President Donald Trump stood in front of the United Nations General Assembly on Sept. 22 and made two explicit threats. He threatened to use military force in Latin America in service of U.S. interests, and he threatened annihilation for both the Iranian government and the Iranian people.”

“The actions he proposed contravene both the international laws prohibiting war and the international humanitarian law that protects civilians in conflict. What’s more, the UN. Charter prohibits even threats of aggression, while the laws of war, themselves part of U.S. law, prohibit indiscriminate threats against a civilian population.”

“Accordingly, Trump’s public deliberations about who to invade and who to annihilate were themselves crimes, committed in full view of thousands of diplomats and heads of state.”
