Biden Orders U.S. To Share Evidence Of Russian War Crimes With ICC
Washington D.C./27.07.23/Turan: U.S. President Joe Biden has reportedly ordered his administration to begin sharing evidence of Russian war crimes in Ukraine with the International Criminal Court, two top American Senators lauded the decision Wednesday night, TURAN's Washington correspondent reports.
In a statement, Dick Durbin, the Democratic chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Lindsey Graham, the Republican ranking member of the panel, said that after pressing the administration for months, they are "pleased that the administration is finally supporting the ICC’s investigation.”
Earlier in May, Biden told TURAN's correspondent that Russia's Vladimir Putin has “clearly committed war crimes.” On May 17, the ICC issued war crimes warrant for Putin.
The U.S. is not a member of the ICC, and the Pentagon had previously blocked efforts to share evidence of war crimes amid concerns that it could open the door to the prosecution of U.S. troops deployed abroad.
