Well unlike the US, the UK is party to the ICC.
I haven’t followed the investigation, but the US put sanctions (later lifted) on ICC personnel because they were
investigating incidents that could
possibly implicate Americans. Apparently the US feels it is a violation of its sovereignty (over Afghanistan, I guess) even to investigate Americans. If they ever indict one, will there be a mushroom cloud over The Hague?
