1967 United States Supreme Court case

Mora v. McNamara, 389 U.S. 934 (1967), is a case in which the United States Supreme Court was asked to rule on the case of a conscientious objector (a member of the Fort Hood Three ) who claimed that the U.S. war against Vietnam was an illegal war of aggression. In this case, the court cited only the Kellogg-Briand Pact , Article 39 of the United Nations Charter and the Treaty of London (which established the Nuremberg War Crimes Tribunal ) as the relevant body of international law regarding cases of war.

Certiorari was denied over the dissents of Justices Stewart and Douglas .
