Aggressive war. The invasion of Iraq was probably a violation
of international law because it was not authorized by the
United Nations (though some disagree with this) and it was not
in self-defense. The problem is that although Nuremberg
defendants were convicted of aggressive war, no one since then
has, and even the states that agreed to join the ICC put off
defining this crime though it is formally included in the Rome
Statute. So it seems unlikely that Bush could be convicted of
a crime of aggressive war. If he could, we would also have to
conduct trials of Clinton and the leaders of all the other
NATO countries for the illegal bombing of Serbia in 1999. It
is unlikely that such an expansive definition of international
crime would be acceptable to states.
