War & Law
quiz for presidential candidates
Braun,
Edwards, Kerry, Kucinich, Sharpton split on legality of war
acts. (A news report by the War and Law League, followed by
the full text of candidates' statements.)
Congress's resolution for war
in Iraq was based on White House falsehoods
Official
misstatements on weapons and terrorism frightened lawmakers
into approving a resolution of dubious constitutionality for a
preplanned aggression that trampled on U.S. treaties. Similar
wars are on the way. Will Congress be fooled again?
Why are hospitals bombed?
U.S.
indifference toward international law has resulted in blasted
hospitals and patient victims in three countries since 1991.
Physicians protest the attacks. Hospital staffs in Iraq wage a
losing struggle to cope with a high toll of civilian
casualties.
A RESOLUTION
AGAINST WAR IN IRAQ
The War
and Law League sought for half a year to get the United
Nations to prevent an attack on Iraq. One tool was this
proposed resolution (in two versions: for the Security Council
and for the General Assembly). Eleven of the fifteen Security
Council members refused to support the aggression--carried out
in March-April 2003--but no resolution against it has yet been
introduced in the UN.
A
PETITION TO TELL CONGRESS, "Affirm the rule of law! To
attack Iraq is a crime."
This
petition was circulated from July to October 2002. It was
endorsed by the Fellowship of Reconciliation; Gray Panthers;
Global Exchange; Voices in the Wilderness; Physicians for
Social Responsibility; Veterans for Peace; the Women's
International League for Peace and Freedom, U.S. Section; and
others.
U.S. attacked Afghan weddings several times; Bush's war is a tragedy of errors & violations of law
Bush must not
scrap treaties without lawful authority.
This
was an issue that occupied the War and Law League in
winter-spring of 2002.
