Complications for Biden's aim to aid Putin war crimes probe

*US Limits on ICC Complicate Biden's Aim to Aid Putin War Crimes Probe.*

The article describes some of the measures that the US adopted to render the International Criminal Court null and void, but doesn't mention that the US pressured other countries around the world not to sign up to it. The European Union was too strong to be pressured in this way, but most countries did as the US bid.

I agree that when the US recognizes a crime of war, it is likely to prosecute the perpetrator. The hard part is getting the US to recognize such a crime. For example, there seems to be little move to make Dubya pay for his war of aggression which was based on lies that have been exposed.
