Plain-English summary
Declares that: (1) Saddam Hussein should be held legally and morally responsible for the brutal treatment by Iraq of American and other allied prisoners of war and should be tried by an international tribunal for his crimes against such prisoners of war; and (2) under no circumstances should the nations allied against Iraq agree to an arrangement whereby Hussein would resign as president of Iraq in exchange for his not being prosecuted for such crimes.
