More than 80 people killed in campaign that law-of-war experts have labeled extrajudicial murder
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reportedly gave a verbal order to leave no survivors behind as Donald Trump’s administration launched the first of more than a dozen attacks on alleged drug-running boats that have killed more than 80 people over the last three months.
On September 2, U.S. military personnel fired a missile striking a vessel in the Caribbean that carried 11 people accused of trafficking drugs into the United States.
When two survivors emerged from the wreckage, a Special Operations commander overseeing the attack ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions to “kill everybody,” according to The Washington Post, citing officials with direct knowledge of the operation.
Doesn’t mean they can’t issue a warrant, which would mean he can’t ever leave the US after he’s done being president.
Bro the US literally has enshrined a law that authorizes them to ‘legally’ invade the Hague if any of them are tried or captired.
I wouldn’t hold my breath. The ICC was always an extension of US imperialism.
Going to need a citation to the statute. Not that I don’t believe you, but I’d like to see where it is for a better understanding.
X Doubt.
But, even if that were true, the ICC has carried forth good actualizations of justice.
