The ICC is not a part of the UNO either.

Never said it was. But Hailey did threaten UN members on voting of Jerusalem

The ICC can do whatever it wants without US support, that is all. I have no problem with either the ICC's, or USA's action in this matter.

Sure, but such shallow threatening only points to admission of guilt tho, doesn't look good in long term

US is a hijacked nation. We all know by who.

Poor regular americans sent to die for the parasite n their life sucked out them.

In an expected move USA the biggest sponsor of human right will deny or cancel previously issuedVISA to any member of ICC who is investigating USA troops war crime in Afghanistan.
The reason old USA mindset that USA citizen can do anything anywhere around the world and nobody has the right to make any complaint.

On the sidenote USA threatened for further supporting human right they will do the same to anybody who want to investigate Israel war crime in Palestine and other neighbouring countries.

Votes in UN are a totally different matter, so let us leave the attempted whataboutery out of this, please.

Not co-operating with a non-UN organization that it is not a part of to begin with, is not an admission of anything on USA's part.

Of course, ICC is free to do whatever it wishes to do, just not with US co-operation. Let us see what it is able to achieve. Good luck to them.

US Empire is declining. When Empires start resorting to open threats and blackmailing that usually means the decline has commenced.

Every empire dies, and every new empire dies much quicker than the previous one.

The muricans are the biggest terrorist on the planet, all muricans must be jailed asap.

 

[oprih]

[OCguy]

US is not a signatory for the ICC, they have no jurisdiction over us.

The muricans are the biggest terrorist on the planet, all muricans must be jailed asap.

You wouldn't last 5 minutes in an American jail.

US Revokes ICC Prosecutor's Entry Visa Over Afghanistan Investigation
April 04, 2019 11:21 PM

In this Nov. 27, 2013, file photo, prosecutor Fatou Bensouda waits for the start of the trial at the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, Netherlands.
THE HAGUE —
The United States has revoked the entry visa of the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Fatou Bensouda, her office said on Thursday, a response to her inquiry into possible war crimes by U.S. forces in Afghanistan.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said last month the U.S. would withdraw or deny visas to ICC staff investigating such allegations against U.S. forces or their allies.

United Nations human rights experts called the reaction "improper interference" in the work of the world's permanent war crimes court. It also drew criticism from within the European Union.

"We can confirm that the U.S. authorities have revoked the prosecutor's visa for entry into the U.S.," Bensouda's office told Reuters in an e-mail.

It said it understood the move should not impact Bensouda’s travel to the U.S. to meet her United Nations obligations. The ICC is not a U.N. court, but Bensouda travels regularly to brief the U.N. Security Council on cases referred to The Hague by the UN body.

A State Department spokesman said members of international organizations planning official travel to the U.N. could apply for diplomatic visas. "We recommend that applicants apply as early as possible to maximize the chances of being found eligible," the spokesman said.

The U.S. in not a member of the ICC, along with other major powers Russia and China.

The office of the prosecutor said on Thursday that Bensouda would exercise her duties "without fear or favor." She has been investigating alleged war crimes by all parties in the conflict in Afghanistan since November 2017, including the possible role of U.S. personnel in relation to the detention of suspects.

ICC judges are still reviewing materials and have not yet handed down a decision on opening a formal investigation in Afghanistan.

The ICC is a court of last resort with 122 member states. It acts only when countries within its jurisdiction are found to be unable or unwilling to seriously investigate war crimes, genocide or other serious atrocities.
