Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the United States will not allow the tribunal, based in The Hague, to investigate U.S. troops or those of allies like Israel.
By Carol Morello Carol Morello National reporter focusing on foreign policy and State Department Email Bio Follow March 15 at 12:06 PM WASHINGTON — The United States will not issue visas to staff of the International Criminal Court involved in the investigations of abuses allegedly committed by U.S. troops in Afghanistan, or investigations of troops of allies such as Israel, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Friday.
Pompeo declined to say how many ICC-related visas have been denied or name any officials affected. But he said the restrictions apply to anyone working for the court who requests or furthers an investigation into acts by the United States or its allies. The United States is not a member of the ICC, even though the Clinton administration signed a statue creating the body. Many in Congress believed it would infringe on U.S. sovereignty, and it was never submitted for the Senate to ratify. More than 100 countries recognize its jurisdiction, but another 23, including the United States, never ratified it.
