US imposes sanctions on international criminal court

Contrazise de alte surse

1. Contrazis The ICC opened an investigation into the actions of US soldiers in Afghanistan, and that case has since been closed.

   AI The Wikipedia result describes the ICC's Afghanistan investigation, which covers alleged crimes by US forces and the CIA, as an ongoing investigation, which is incompatible with the claim that it has been closed. The CFR result supports that the investigation was authorised and includes US personnel, and the MEE result only mentions that closure could be requested, not that it happened.
