The invasion and occupation of Iraq is more than illegal, it is a war crime. The invasion of Afghanistan is likewise a war crime, but the factors making it so are more subtle than are those involved with Iraq.
With Iraq, it is plainly established that the invasion was based on false pretenses. That is a war crime.
In each of those two countries, there is a 'backup' claim upon which war crimes charges can be based: Torture.
