“ Crimes against humanity remain considerably harder to prosecute than war crimes, narrowly defined, in part because criminal nation-states are unlikely to prosecute themselves, and because international diplomatic practice—particularly by the United States—has blocked the creation of an international criminal court that would have jurisdiction to try perpetrators of these atrocities. � — Christopher Simpson

“ Wilson preferred to sidestep the issue of war crimes altogether and leave it unresolved in any treaty ending the war. � — Christopher Simpson

“ Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime. � — Ernest Hemingway
