Kellogg-Briand Pact

'NUREMBERG for the neocons - The Kellogg-Briand Pact and the UN charter of 1945.

December 8-10, 2006 -- REPORTING December 8 from Stuttgart, Germany.
Yesterday, the editor introduced a petition at a press conference at
the Nuremberg Stadium calling for the United States to honor the 1945
commitment made by Special Prosecutor Robert Jackson that the US
would be bound in the future by the same rules of international law
it applied to the Nazi party leaders. Accepting the petition was the
director of the Documentation Center for the Crimes of the German
Reich Party (Dokumentationszentrum Reichsparteitagsgelande) who
expressed a willingness to place the petition at Room 600 at the
Nuremberg Courthouse where the Nazi leaders were tried and sentenced.
As this room is visited by thousands of people from around the world,
the editor made a commitment to deliver the signed petition to the
leadership of the Judiciary Committees of the US Senate and House of
Representatives to stress the importance of the United States
becoming a full party to the International Criminal Court (ICC)
treaty and, if necessary, cooperate with the court in handing over
for trial those American political and military leaders who violated
the clause of the Kellogg-Briand Pact of 1928.

The Kellogg-Briand Pact (also known as the Paris Peace Pact) formally
renounced war as an instrument of national policy and its violation
by the German Nazis was one of the four main charges in their
indictment at Nuremberg, to wit, "crimes against peace (planning,
preparation, initiation, or waging of a war of aggression, or a war
in violation of international treaties, agreements, or assurances, or
participation in a common plan or conspiracy for the accomplishment
of any of the forgoing.").

The United States is a party to the Kellogg-Briand Pact, the terms of
which remain in force to this day and which remains a U.S. law. The
United States is also a party to the United Nations Charter of 1945,
which also renounces war unless for reasons of self defense and is
also U.S. law as a ratified treaty of the United States.'
