Summary of Biden's crime charges:

• In 1999, as ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Biden co-sponsored the McCain-Biden Kosovo Resolution, to provide legislative cover for an aggressive war against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, in violation of Articles 2 & 33 of the UN Charter.
• In 2002, as Chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Biden chaired hearings to provide legislative cover for war on Iraq, in violation of Articles 2 & 33 of the UN Charter. He called 18 witnesses to provide false and misleading testimony that Iraq was supporting Al-Qaeda and developing nuclear weapons, and who favored “regime change as the stated US policy.”
• As vice president, Biden had been a strong supporter of the War in Afghanistan under what he called a counterterrorism mission, saying “Whatever it takes, we should do it.”
  
• As vice president, Biden was complicit in illegal overt and covert uses of force against Libya, Syria and Iraq, and played a leading role in U.S. support for the violent overthrow of the Ukrainian government in 2014, all in violation of Articles 2 & 33 of the UN Charter.
• From 2015 to Biden's presidency, the U.S. has been the largest funder, supporter, and military partner of Saudi Arabia's war on Yemen.
  
• The Biden administration hasn’t pressed for prosecution of war criminals, including those pardoned by his predecessor, preferring to "look forward" rather than backward.
• February 25, 2021 marked the first known military action by now President Biden’s administration, minus congressional authorization, in response to Iranian-backed rocket attacks on U.S. forces in Syria. The 1973 War Powers Act requires the president to get that authorization within 90 days of
  commencement — a deadline passed during the Obama administration.
  
• After U.S. actions in 2014 led to the disintegration of Ukraine and the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Biden, as president, undermined peace negotiations in April 2022, and repeatedly rejected and prevented the pacific settlement of the conflict required by Articles 2(3) and 33 of the UN Charter.
• Presidents Obama’s and Trump’s armed drones program continues under the Biden administration. During the U.S. withdrawal of remaining soldiers and Afghan refugees from Kabul at the end of August 2021, a U.S. drone killed 10 Afghan civilians; seven of the ten civilian victims were children.
  Biden has pledged to conduct “over-the-horizon” counterterrorism operations with drones to replace soldiers and pilots, disregarding national boundaries. Biden stopped drone attacks in Somalia in 2021, then resumed them in 2022.  On August 1, 2022, after ordering the illegal killing of Ayman al Zawahiri, he asserted that the United States would “take out” anyone, anywhere in the world who presented a threat to U.S. people.
  
• In May 2021, Biden expressed his support for Israel, despite UN Human Rights Council determination that Israeli settlements were in violation of the absolute prohibition against “settler implantation” in the 1998 Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.
• September 15, 2021, Biden announced a security pact between Australia, the United Kingdom and theUnited States (AUKUS), to ensure "peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific over the long term.” The dealwill help Australia to acquire nuclear-powered submarines, contradicting the 2009 Australian DefenseWhite Paper that stated: "The Government has ruled out nuclear propulsion for these submarines.”
• In 2022 Biden, breaking a campaign promise, backed use of nuclear weapons to deter non-nuclear threats by other nations, retaining the threat of "first-strike" use of nukes, contributing to what the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists measures as 100 seconds to midnight, an unthinkable use of nuclear weapons with the potential to destroy the planet and life on it. The Biden administration is “modernizing” the U.S. nuclear arsenal.
  
• Biden is an active leader of the genocide in Palestine, providing the weapons used, planning and coordinating military operations with Israel and leading U.S. diplomatic efforts to ensure the extermination of the Palestinian population, in whole or in part, in flagrant violation of the Genocide Convention.
