[Peace-discuss] War crime

[C. G. Estabrook]

We must make clear to the Germans that the wrong for which their fallen
leaders are on trial is not that they lost the war, but that they
started it.
--U.S. Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson, U.S. representative to
the international Conference on Military Trials, August 12, 1945


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.
--Nuremberg War Tribunal regarding wars of aggression
