War Crimes?
From the Institute for Public Accuracy, April 4, 2003
"To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an
international crime, it is the supreme international crime
differing
only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the
accumulated evil of the whole." -- International Military Tribunal
at
Nuremberg, 1946

"All Members shall refrain in their international relations from
the
threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or
political
independence of any state..." -- U.N. Charter (Chapter I, Article
2)

"It is prohibited to attack, destroy, remove, or render useless
objects indispensable to the survival of the civilian population,
such
as ... drinking water installations and supplies." -- Geneva
Conventions (Additional Protocol I, Article 54)
