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 and there is no reason any future president could not hand over a Trump pardoned criminal to the Hague. They will only have been pardoned within America.

I hope so.

@jwi @ChrisMayLA6 no one of any consequence is going to experience any repercussions, but some token scapegoats will maybe get spanks.
We, the people, need to remember every single Nazi and hunt them down until we find them all. No rest. No quarter.

@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. -

@drwho @farbel @ChrisMayLA6
And who "polices" the Geneva Convention anyway?
You know, stuff like *genocide* - what has happened to the perpetrators so far?

You know, stuff like *genocide* - what has happened to the perpetrators so far?@Quantillion @drwho @ChrisMayLA6 Good question. It is an international treaty. 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"??
