Eminent jurists, professional legal organizations, and human
rights monitors in this country and around the world have declared
that President George W. Bush may be prosecuted as a war criminal
when he leaves office for his overt and systematic violations of
such international law as the Geneva and Hague Conventions and such
US law as the War Crimes Act, the Anti-Torture Act, and federal
assault laws. "George W. Bush, War Criminal?" identifies and
documents 269 specific war crimes under US and international law
for which President Bush, senior officials and staff in his
administration, and military officers under his command are liable
to be prosecuted. Haas divides the 269 war crimes of the Bush
administration into four classes: 6 war crimes committed in
launching a war of aggression; 36 war crimes committed in the
conduct of war; 175 war crimes committed in the treatment of
prisoners; and 52 war crimes committed in postwar occupations.
For each of the 269 war crimes of the Bush administration,
Professor Haas gives chapter and verse in precise but non-technical
language, including the specific acts deemed to be war crimes, the
names of the officials deemed to be war criminals, and the exact
language of the international or domestic laws violated by those
officials. The author proceeds to consider the various US,
international, and foreign tribunals in which the war crimes of
Bush administration defendants may be tried under applicable bodies
of law. He evaluates the real-world practicability of bringing
cases against Bush and Bush officials in each of the possible
venues. Finally, he weighs the legal, political, and humanitarian
pros and cons of actually bringing Bush and Bush officials to trial
for war crimes.
