To commit a war crime you have to break one of the two main principles, which are: "The principle of necessity and the principle of humanity." What the first principle means is that you can kill the enemy only when it is completely necessary. The second principle states that you should cause no unnecessary suffering to your enemy. These two principles are the two fundamental principles and have become highly detailed. The most important laws that have come out of the two main principles are that prisoners of war have rights and should never be executed or wounded after they have surrendered. That you are not allowed to take hostages, and that you can't starve non-combatants. People who are sick, wounded should be cared for. Innocent

What the United States of America did to Iraq was completely unnecessary, the U.S killed numerous noncombatants for no reason what so ever, the United States of America should be prosecuted just like the Nazi's were. The U.S didn't kill as many people as the Germans did during world war 2 however they did the crimes as recklessly and just like the Nazis they did on purpose, this type of behavior is called grave breaches which is what the Nazis did as well, and what the Nazis were hanged for.

civilians property should be spared, and civilians should have nothing stolen from them. You must treat all noncombatants humanely and equally.

The ICC will be set up like our court system here in Canada. Where the defendant will know the charges, the evidence against him, the defendant will be allowed a lawyer and can have witnesses testify on his behalf. The accused will have impartial judges and a right to an appeal. However the ICC will most likely follow the Continental European civil law system, so there will be no plea bargains. The ICC will be allowed to make its own investigation into war crimes as well.

The first crimes that the U.S committed was that they broke the two basic rules set down by the United Nations. These two rules are that "a nation cannot plan and make war." The second rule that the U.S broke was "if there is a dispute, the nations must exhaust every means of settlement. Even then, only the UN can authorize war." The United States violated these laws by telling "Kuwait to refuse to negotiate it differences with Iraq as required by the United Nations Charter." The U.S didn't wait for all means of negotiation to end the U.S decided that they never wanted to negotiate. The U.S not the UN decided that the dispute between Kuwait and Iraq would have to be settled by force. "It is the U.S that close war and not peace; it is the U.S that committed a crime against peace."

War crimes aren't always committed by the so-called "bad guys" i.e. Nazis, Chinese, and the Japanese. Other countries that are fighting for a good cause also commit these terrible crimes. A great example of this is what the United States of America did to Iraq during the Gulf War. The United Stated has been called the "good Germans" for the inhumane acts that they committed to the Iraqi people. The United States did commit war crimes but they weren't reprimanded at all for what they did, the reason cannot be said. There can't be justice when a super power like the United States commits these crimes and gets away with it.

The making of this court will set up an international criminal code, which would state all the crimes that could be brought fourth to the ICC. However this international criminal code is very far away. The ICC will first deal with "care" crimes such as war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. When a person is found guilty by the ICC, it will be the national government to prosecute the criminal, except in a cast of genocide "where is has been proposed that the ICC should have inherent jurisdiction."

The Nuremberg trial was only one small step in bringing justice to the many Jewish victims. The Jewish victims have not received justice yet and probably never will because there are still numerous Nazi war criminals
