Below are excerpts from the Iraq War Crime Tribunal proposal that was passed by the Green Party of Ohio Convention on January 31, 2004.

“The Green Party of the United States National Conference of July 2003, called for the impeachment of President George W. Bush for his actions regarding the March 2003 invasion of Iraq; and the appropriate authorities, including the leadership of the Democratic Party, have failed to hold President Bush and others accountable for their actions in authorizing an illegal war of aggression, and . . . the Green Party of the United States rejects any Defense Policy of the United States advocating preemptive war.”

“. . .The Green Party of the United States considers preemptive wars initiated by the United States Government to be illegal wars of aggression and the leaders who authorize such military action should be investigated for possible trial as war criminals. The United Nations is called upon to establish a War Crimes Tribunal for Iraq and Kuwait and this Tribunal should initiate a War Crimes investigation of the leaders of the United States who authorized the March 2003 invasion of Iraq, specifically President George W. Bush, Vice President Richard Cheney and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld . . .”
