In findings from a preliminary examination, which precedes an actual investigation to gather evidence, Bensouda said the Taliban and their affiliates were responsible for more than 17,000 civilian deaths until 2015 and there was a "reasonable basis" to believe they had committed crimes against humanity and war crime by murdering civilians.

Trump has repeatedly stated that he would order American troops to commit acts of torture if he is elected, which some leading retired military commanders have already stated they would refuse to obey because it would constitute an international war crime and make American prisoners of war vulnerable to torture from our enemies.

Though the International Criminal Court (ICC) has standing to try the world's worst human rights violations, the court often falls short of that mandate when the accused is a head of state, in part because turning a war crime accusation into a full-fledged trial is a process fraught with jurisdiction limits and uncooperative states.

And as the new decade began, President Trump not only carried out a drone strike so drastic and rare that many experts believed it was a straightforward act of (and declaration of) war, but also threatened to bomb non-military targets ("cultural" sites), a move which is generally considered a war crime under international law.
|
|
Putin&aposs shuttle diplomacy provided a sharp contrast to Trump, who spent the first few days after the drone attack ducking Congress, dodging the press and delivering rambling, pseudo-national security briefs by tweet, along with multiple threats to target cultural sites in Iran if the conflict escalated further, which would be a war crime.

Party leaders could have taken any number of opportunities — the time he approvingly cited a fictional war crime, his lavish praise of Vladimir Putin, his vile slurs of Megyn Kelly, his evident lack of knowledge of any policy issue, or his repeated incitements toward violence at his rallies — to simply admit that the pledge had been a mistake.

Those assessing whether civilians are the victim of a war crime would need to establish details such as what the target of an attack was, what information the commander had about any risk to civilians, what precautions were taken to prevent harm to civilians, and whether the risk of harm to civilians was disproportionate even if it was a legitimate military target, Gidron said.

To recap: Donald Trump wants to keep Muslims out of the US. He's in favor of illegally torturing America's enemies, of building a massive border wall that likely wouldn't even work, of making it easier to sue journalists for libel (First Amendment, Shmirst Amendment), of forcibly deporting 11 million undocumented immigrants, of retaliating against terrorists by targeting their families (a war crime), and of wanting to cut taxes in a way that would make the national debt skyrocket.
