The privilege of opening the first trial in history for crimes against the peace of the world imposes a grave responsibility. The wrongs which we seek to condemn and punish have been so calculated, so malignant, and so devastating that civilization cannot tolerate their being ignored because it cannot survive their being repeated… We must never forget that the record on which we judge these defendants today is the record on which history will judge us tomorrow. To pass these defendants a poisoned chalice is to put it to our own lips as well. We must summon such detachment and intellectual integrity to our task that this trial will commend itself to posterity as fulfilling humanity…
(Opening address at the first Nuremberg Trial by Justice Robert H. Jackson, Representative and Chief of Counsel for the United States of America)
-THE INTERRELATED PREDICATES AND PRECEDENTS OF JUST WAR AND NUREMBERG
-
In the first Nuremberg Trial, 22 war criminals went on trial of whom 12 were hanged. They were all charged with varying levels of responsibility for five interrelated, concomitant and mutually supporting crimes:
-
a) Launching and Waging Aggressive and Illegal War; which implies–and if proved supports a charge of:
-
b) Conspiracy to Launch and Wage Aggressive Illegal War (since no parties go to war without planning and giving asserted reasons );
-
c) Crimes Against Peace (which all illegal wars, launched and waged on the basis of illegal conspiracy, imply and entail, per se):
-
d) Crimes Against Humanity (which charges a, b, c, imply and entail per se by virtue of the known horrors and effects of war) and:
-
e) War Crimes (no such right of “self-defense” or “necessary measures” by those guilty of charges a, b, c, d, ).
Principles of “Just War (JW):
Principle I: JUST CAUSE: (AD BELLUM)
Principle II: GROSS FORMAL MORAL GUILT ON ONE SIDE (AD BELLUM)
Principle III: UNDOUBTED KNOWLEDGE OF GUILT (AD BELLUM)
Principle IV: WAR CAN ONLY BE CONDUCTED BY A COMPETENT, POLITICALLY LEGITIMATE AUTHORITY IN CHARGE OF THE RESPONSE TO PUBLIC ORDER BEING DISTURBED (AD BELLUM)
Principle V: RIGHT INTENTIONS FREE OF REVENGE, BLOODLUST, And HIDDEN GEOSTRATEGIC AGENDA AND STRICTLY CONFINED TO THE GOALS CONNECTED WITH THE “JUST CAUSES” FOR WAR. (AD BELLUM)
Principle VI: WAR SHOULD ONLY BE DECLARED WHEN EVERY MEANS TO PREVENT IT HAVE BEEN EXPLORED, TRIED AND HAVE FAILED. (AD BELLUM)
-
Principle VII: JUSTICE MUST FAVOR THE SIDE OF THE OFFENDED NATION BUT NO NATION HAS ABSOLUTE JUSTICE ON ITS SIDE (AD BELLUM)
Principle VIII: THE INTENDED AND LIKELY “BENEFITS” OF WAR IN TERMS OF WRONGS THAT ARE STOPPED AND “PUBLIC ORDER” RESTORED MUST LIKELY OUTWEIGH THE LIKELY COSTS OF THE WAR IN TERMS OF SUFFERING AND DESTRUCTION. (AD BELLUM)
Principle IX: THERE MUST BE A GROUNDED AND REASONABLE PROSPECT OR HOPE FOR SUCCESS (AD BELLUM)
Principle X: THE LIKELY EFFECTS OF THE METHODS AND INSTRUMENTS OF WAR AS MEASURED IN LIKELY DEATH AND SUFFERING MUST NOT BE GREATER THAN THE WRONGS BEING STOPPED AND/OR GOOD BEING ESTABLISHED. (AD BELLUM AND IN BELLO)
Principle XI: CIVILIANS AND NON-COMBATANTS (Those not intentionally, directly and materially engaged in support of combatants) MUST BE DIFFERENTIATED FROM COMBATANTS AND NO INTENTIONAL FORCE IS TO BE DIRECTED AGAINST THEM. (Jus in Bello)

Originally, some genius named the original invasion of Iraq in 2003 as Operation Iraqi Liberation with uniform patches that read OIL. The operation was renamed Operation Iraqi Freedom and all US Forces were ordered to turn over all OIL uniform patches.
