The Hague Conventions (IV,1907): "It is especially forbidden (a) to employ poison or poisoned weapons; (b) To kill or wound treacherously ... (e) To employ arms, projectiles, or material calculated to cause unnecessary suffering..." (Article 23).  "The attack or bombardment, by whatever means,of towns,villages, dwellings or buildings which are undefended is prohibited." (Article 25).
    The press reported the bombardment of defenseless occupants of communities, dwellings, etc. in tens of thousands of air raids on Yugoslavia and on Iraq.  It disclosed also the use in Yugoslavia of (1) radioactive ammunition, endangering civilians and troops alike, and (2) cluster bombs, designed solely to kill and maim; many failed to explode at first but have since caused innumerable losses of limbs.  Spanish pilots flying for NATO said that gases, surface mines, bombs with uranium, napalm, and other chemicals were among weapons being used against the Yugoslavs. (See also final item.)

Pact of Paris (or Treaty for the Renunciation of War as an Instrument of National Policy or Kellogg-Briand Peace Pact,1928): It made aggressive war illegal and its initiation an individual crime.  The Nuremberg tribunal sentenced Nazi leaders to death for violating it.
    Clinton's wars have been aggressive, all unprovoked attacks on people abroad.

United Nations Charter (1945): The primary purpose of the United Nations is "to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war" (Preamble).  Accordingly, "All members shall settle their international disputes by peaceful means" and "refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state ..." (Article 2).
    Clinton repeatedly attacked and embargoed Iraq because its president would not do what he wanted.  He presented Yugoslavia with an ultimatum,demanding that NATO occupy the entire country.  When, as expected, it was rejected, he devastated the country, killing thousands of its people, and seizing its province of Kosovo.  See also the OAS charter, next.

Charter of the Organization of American States (OAS charter,1948): "No State or group of States has the right to intervene, directly or indirectly, for any reason whatever, in the internal or external affairs of any other state [Article 15]....  The territory of a State is inviolable; it may not be the object,even temporarily, of military occupation or of other measures of force taken by another State, directly or indirectly,on any grounds whatever [Article 17]."
    To change Haiti's government,Clinton threatened war and sent troops to occupy the country.  Other breaches were Bush's Panama war and Reagan's interventions in Nicaragua and El Salvador.

North Atlantic Treaty (1949): "The parties undertake,as set forth in the Charter of the United Nations, to settle any international disputes in which they may be involved by peaceful means ... and to refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force in any manner inconsistent with the purposes of the United Nations."  Force is contemplated only when a member nation is attacked.nbsp; In any case, the parties are to carry out the provisions of the treaty "in accordance with their respective constitutional processes."
    In violating the UN Charter, Clinton also violated the North Atlantic Treaty.  He converted the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) from a defensive organization to an offensive one, which ganged up to attack, destroy, and conquer a small country.

Geneva Conventions (1949): "Civilian hospitals ... may in no circumstances be the object of attack but shall at all times be respected and protected by the parties to the conflict."
    Hospitals, including maternity wards, were considered fair game in the Clinton-NATO campaign of terror against the Yugoslav people. (See also Protocol Additional,1977.)

Nuremberg Principles (as adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations,1950): The fact that a person committing a crime under international law acted as head of state or a government official or pursuant to orders "does not relieve him from responsibility under international law."  Crimes against peace include "Planning, preparation, initiation or waging of a war of aggression or a war in violation of international treaties, agreements or assurances."  War crimes include "murder, wanton destruction of cities, towns, or villages, or devastation not justified by military necessity."  Complicity in the commission of a crime against peace or a war crime is itself a crime.
    All the enumerated crimes against peace and war crimes were committed by Clinton, subordinates, and NATO accomplices.

War Powers Resolution (1973): Sending forces into hostilities requires (1) a war declaration, (2) specific statutory authorization, or (3) a national emergency created by an attack on the U.S.
    This U.S. law was disregarded by Clinton and predecessors.

Final Act of the Helsinki Conference (or Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe,1975): It affirmed respect for sovereign equality,the inviolability of frontiers, the peaceful settlement of disputes, non-intervention in international affairs, and the avoidance of the threat or use of force.
    All of those provisions were violated in all of Clinton's acts of aggression.

Protocol Additional to the Geneva Conventions of 1949 (1977,signed by the U.S.; the Senate has not yet voted on it): Requiring the protection of civilians from military operations, it prohibits (1) attacking civilians; threatening or conducting violence designed to spread terror among the population, and (2) launching an indiscriminate attack that harms civilians or civilian objects as well as military targets.  Violations "shall be regarded as war crimes" (Articles 51 and 85).
    For 2 1/2 months in spring of 1999,indiscriminate missile and bomber raids hit civilians and civilian objects in Yugoslavia.  Spanish pilots of war planes admitted that NATO deliberately attacked civilian targets there (Articulo 20, Spanish weekly, June 14, 1999).  Many thousands of Iraqi civilians have been killed in bombings ordered by Clinton and his predecessor, President Bush.
