The document accuses Trump of initiating wars and murders, committing war crimes and piracy on the high seas.

"Mr Trump has unconstitutionally initiated war as a belligerent or co-belligerent against Iran, Yemen, Lebanon, Syria, Nigeria and Gaza. He has threatened military force against Panama, Colombia, Cuba and Greenland. In all of these endeavours, President Trump has acted without constitutionally required congressional authorisation," the resolution says.
