JOHN YOO RESOLUTION

Whereas 65 concerned United States citizens gathered on April 18, 2009 at the Chapman University School of Law, Kennedy Hall; and

 

Whereas it was unanimously agreed that John Yoo's legal advice to United States governmental officials as evidenced by "torture memos" including without limitation his August 1, 2002 memo, violated constitutional, statutory and international law by justifying torture, cruel, unusual and/or degrading treatment, and he was thereby complicit in the commission of crimes against humanity; 

 

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:

 

John Yoo should be discharged from his positions as Constitutional Law Professor at University of California, Berkeley (Boalt Hall) and visiting professor of law at Chapman University School of Law;

 

John Yoo should be disbarred as an attorney; and

 

John Yoo should be investigated and prosecuted by the United States Justice Department for crimes against humanity.
