The
International Criminal Court (ICC) is preparing to launch an
investigation of a range of possible war crimes in Afghanistan,
including those committed by US troops, according to a new report.
ICC chief
prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, will seek to initiate an investigation in
the coming weeks, according to the Foreign Policy magazine, citing
several knowledgeable sources.
The probe
will likely be launched after the US presidential election but before
the end of the year, multiple sources have indicated.
However, it
is not clear whether the ICC would ever bring charges against
Americans after the investigation because doing so would require
significantly more evidence than the chief prosecutor’s office
currently possesses, the report said.
