VAU Afgh 101: Discrimination Based on Nationality, Race, or Religion

This is part of a series of eight "virtual teachins" on U.S. war crimes in Afghanistan.

The crime of Discrimination Based on Nationality, Race, or Religion is described on the website for Mike Haas' book, George W. Bush, War Criminal? The Bush Administration’s Liability for 269 War Crimes. Here, we will look at the specific legal basis for charging perpetrators as war criminals for Discrimination Based on Nationality, Race, or Religion, and list sources reporting relevant U.S. actions in Afghanistan.

Viewers of this page are strongly encouraged to contribute comments and additional sources in the comments section!

If the American public knew the nature of the crimes that its government was committing in Afghanistan, could it possibly sit still and not force an end to the war, and the removal of U.S. military, intelligence, and contractors from Afghanistan?
