    1) waging aggressive war
    2) genocide
    3) crimes against humanity
    4) war crimes
    There is some overlap in these categories.

    "The Nuremberg Charter upended the traditional view of international law by holding individuals, rather than states, responsible for breaches of international law."
    Therefore, violation of Soviet/Russian law is not necessary.

    craigerb That's a great question. I must confess, I do not know enough about Russia's founding (re-founding? Post-Soviet re-establishment) documents to know what fundamental precepts of their government he may have violated. Suggestions?
