Will the US AirForce fulfil the Tangerine Tyrant's threat to 'decimate' Iran's civilian infrastructure?.... widely regarded as being a potential war crime.

The US is explicitly not under the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court, but the US has so annoyed some allies that any USAF personal involved might need to be careful where they holiday, as any country claiming 'universal jurisdiction' for war crimes might see them as legitimate subjects for arrest?
@ChrisMayLA6 Of course they will.

@ChrisMayLA6 The #US may not be under the jurisdiction of the #ICC, but we did sign the #GenevaConvention.
@farbel @ChrisMayLA6 The US acknowledged it. They are not signatories to the Geneva Convention, so they are not bound by it.

@ChrisMayLA6
I would very much hope that any country that has signed up to & believes in the universal jurisdiction of the ICC would see its conditions through to the letter.
...Or they risk seeing it disintegrate. -

And who "polices" the Geneva Convention anyway?
You know, stuff like *genocide* - what has happened to the perpetrators so far?

@drwho @ChrisMayLA6 The US signed the Geneva Convention. Only the Netherlands and the US ratified it.

If you break it you also relinquish protection under it. If you are arrested in a participating nation, you can be sent to the Hague. Most countries including the US have laws based on it against war crimes.

@ChrisMayLA6 Also puts Starmer / Scottish govt in a difficult position if TT decides to visit one of his Scottish golf courses.
Do we attempt to arrest "the leader of the free world"??
