CVT was one of 200 organizations signing this joint statement calling for an end to President Trump’s threats of war crimes, issued after he wrote in an online post that if Iran did not meet his demands, “a whole civilization will die tonight.” The authors write, “Such language describes a grave atrocity if carried out.” They urge respect for international law, writing, “Those responsible for atrocities, including crimes against humanity and war crimes, can and must be held accountable.”
