President Trump authorizes economic sanctions and travel restrictions against International Criminal Court workers involved in investigating American troops and intel officials, and those of allied nations, including Israel, for possible war crimes.
The administration said it had “strong reason to believe” that there is “corruption and misconduct” at the highest levels of the prosecutor’s office, but provided no evidence to back up this claim.The decision on the war crimes investigation by the Hague-based court in March overturned a ruling by a lower chamber last year that blocked the probe concluding, among other reasons, that its chances of success and prosecution were “extremely limited.
The White House added that it was concerned that “adversary nations” were manipulating the court by “encouraging these allegations” against American personnel. Attorney General William Barr later specifically named Russia without providing details or evidence to substantiate the claims.it has determined that there is a reasonable basis to believe that war crimes were committed by members of the U.S. armed forces in Afghanistan and by members of the CIA in secret detention facilities in Afghanistan and in other countries, particularly between the period 2003-2004.
It also determined that there is a reasonable basis to believe that crimes against humanity and war crimes have been committed by the Taliban and their Haqqani network and that war crimes were committed by the Afghan National Security Forces. America’s war in Afghanistan — its longest — has raged for more than 18 years, costing the lives of around 2,300 U.S. troops and wounding many thousands of others.
