Pentagon blocks transfer of Russian war crimes data to ICC – media

The reason is the fear of creating a precedent, because of which the Americans may be held responsible in the future.

The Pentagon is blocking the presentation to the International Criminal Court of evidence of Russian war crimes in Ukraine, collected by US intelligence agencies. This is stated in the material of The New York Times.

The publication, citing sources, reports that the evidence of the American side is related to the investigation of the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Karim Khan. We are talking, among other things, about materials about the decision of Russian officials to deliberately strike civilian infrastructure and kidnap thousands of Ukrainian children from the occupied territory.

Interlocutors tell the NYT that the National Security Council convened a meeting of a committee of leaders on Feb. 3 to try to resolve the evidence-sharing dispute, but Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin again objected.

It has been noted that the Pentagon is opposed to cooperation with the ISS because it fears setting a precedent that could help pave the way for prosecution of the Americans. The rest of the Joe Biden administration, including the intelligence services, the State Department and the Justice Department, are in favor of providing evidence in court.

Biden himself has yet to make a final decision, NYT sources added.

It was previously reported that the United States is ready to try Russian war criminals. Changes were made to the country’s law to allow the prosecution of potential war criminals identified in the United States from anywhere in the world.
