The atrocities in afghanistan should get the same attention as ukraine. The guilty should be charged by ICC asap.

Russia is also not a signatory. Idk why ICC thought they could issue a warrant then. Anyways west supporting ICC on putin warrant just make them looks stupid and hypocrite, ICC also lost it’s credibility when it backed down on Iraq investigation when US threatened it. Makes you wonder what they did there… now they are crying about war crimes in ukraine lol. Rules for thee but not for mee.

Not signing the ICC convention is a political issue, not a military one. Big US generals have said a couple of times that the US should join as they have no plan to hide or commit war crimes. But go and find a majority for any big foreign policy decision in the US Congress for the last 20 years.

Doesn't mean that where it can be enforced, the law shouldn't be enforced. Just because laws don't stop all crime doesn't make them useless.
