Not sure who needs to see this, but…

    From the Wikipedia page on the Nuremberg trials: "The International Military Tribunal agreed with the prosecution that aggression was the gravest charge, stating in its judgment that because "war is essentially an evil thing", "to initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole".

    From the Wikipedia page on Hideki Tojo: he was "found guilty of, among other actions, waging wars of aggression; war in violation of international law; unprovoked or aggressive war against various nations; and ordering, authorizing, and permitting inhumane treatment of prisoners of war".

    Is this at all relevant today?

    @SteveBellovin Nope.

    @SteveBellovin It might be relevant some day if the US Congress repeals the Hague Invasion Act and the Senate ratifies the Rome Statute.
