What is a war criminal? Was not war itself a crime against God and
humanity, and, therefore, were not all those who sanctioned, engineered,
and conducted wars, war criminals? War criminals are not confined

more or less red - not merely Germany and Japan.
-- Mohandas K. Gandhi,
-- interviewed by Ralph Coniston of Colliers Weekly, April, 1945
