"Attacks on civilian targets are prohibited under international law, and the international criminal court has issued arrest warrants for Russian military officers responsible for such actions in Ukraine."
"The threats made by Donald Trump regarding Iran, if carried out, would also constitute war crimes, reflecting a dangerous disregard for international law."
"The language used by Trump and his administration diminishes the global reputation and moral credibility of the United States, which has already been significantly undermined."
"In a saner political climate, there would be discussions about constitutional options to remove Trump, but the current political environment makes this unlikely."
Article 52 of the first additional protocol to the Geneva conventions prohibits attacks on civilian targets. The international criminal court has issued arrest warrants for Russian military officials for attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, classifying these actions as war crimes. Similar consequences would apply to the United States if threats to bomb Iran are executed. The language used by leaders undermines the global reputation and moral credibility of the US, raising concerns about potential escalation in conflicts.
