ICC Judges Reject Request For Probe Of Possible War Crimes In Afghanistan

The International Criminal Court has turned down a request made by the ICC prosecutor to open a probe into possible war crimes committed during the conflict in Afghanistan.

In its decision issued on April 12, the judges cited a lack of evidence and a poor outlook on state cooperation.

“The chamber hereby decides that an investigation into the situation in Afghanistan at this stage would not serve the interests of justice and accordingly rejects the request,” the decision said.

In November 2017, ICC prosecutor Fatou Bensouda asked judges to open an investigation into alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by Afghan national security forces, Taliban and Haqqani network fighters, as well as U.S. forces and intelligence officials in Afghanistan since May 2003.

On April 5, Bensouda’s office said in a written statement that U.S authorities revoked her entry visa.

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said last month that Washington would revoke or deny visas to ICC staff seeking to investigate alleged war crimes and abuses committed by U.S. forces in Afghanistan or elsewhere.

The United States is among dozens of countries that have not ratified the Rome treaty that established the ICC in 2002.

        All the profits and most high profile employments are awarded
        to
        certain parasitic catagory people.
        .
        That is how, cluster bomb manufacturers, like Honeywell, could easily get away with their extreme cases of extortions; nepotism and other forms of illegal activities.
        .
        They run these types of government contracting companies, with tens of billions of profits annually, like family businesses. It is solely theirs to get
        exploited and expanded.

          Parasitic practices
          of these types of rogue companies have gone way beyond legal obligations.
          ==================
          ==================
          These types of
          criminal manufacturers go to the extreme lengths to keep their deceptive image publicized; so they be able to get away with blatant violations of the contracting
          laws of the state and federal government agencies and keep billions of dollars
          of yearly profits in their own pockets.
          ===

          =
          They always keep spinning off as linked and associated companies in an order to avoid strict monopoly laws. That way, they keep the huge contracting money stool within their own family circles of certain catagory people.

            extremely inflated prices
            to
            foreign rogue regimes

    Most of thecSTUPID leaders of the Western world hate Muslims
    for no reason- it is this extreme irrational hatred that drive these cowards are emotionally projecting and charging towards Muslims, in
    general, and reflecting off where ever they happen to focus for exploitations.
    .
    All, meant to undermine, devastate and cripple Islamic countries- culturely; politically and economically..

      thugs and thug-mars, irrationally, psych themselves

      and/or where ever they happen to focus
      for the purpose of
      extreme
      devastations and exploitations.

    of
    rogue and mischievous
    politicians !
