ARTICLE I. VIOLATIONS OF INTERNATIONAL LAW

(1) Promoting an Illegal War of Aggression

He has promoted a war of aggression against the sovereign nation of Iraq, resulting in the deaths of thousands of United States military personnel and tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians, by advancing specious claims that Iraq posed an immediate danger to the United States of America because it allegedly possessed or was seeking to develop weapons of mass destruction, in the name of a policy of so-called “anticipatory,” “pre-emptive” or “preventive” war of self-defense, by which the United States of America claims the right to unilaterally assault, invade or occupy other nations without first engaging in collective measures with other member states of the United Nations or first gaining the prior assent of the United Nations Security Council, in violation of Articles 41 and 42 of the United Nations Charter.
