White House National Security Adviser John Bolton has threatened sanctions against International Criminal Court (ICC) judges who plan to probe alleged war crimes committed by Americans in Afghanistan, saying it constitutes an assault on US sovereignty. Bolton on Monday branded the ICC in The Hague “outright dangerous” in an attempt to pressure the court which is planning to investigate the alleged US war crimes. “The United States will use any means necessary to protect our citizens and those of our allies from unjust prosecution by this illegitimate court,” Bolton told members of the conservative Federalist Society gathered at a Washington, DC, hotel.
