The United States a priori rejects its responsibility for crimes in Afghanistan.
At a press conference in Washington on March 5, the US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the ICC’s decision on alleged war crimes in Afghanistan was not acceptable to the United States.
“This is a reckless decision. We will do our best to protect American citizens from the possible consequences of a decision of the International Criminal Court. The US government has evidence that knowingly false information about war crimes was transmitted to the International Criminal Court”, – Pompeo said.
