Washington wants Putin in the International Criminal Court, but its law allows "all means necessary" to prevent cases against USA.
Abstract: -
Excerpt:
Until now, Washington had no use for the International Criminal Cout, and refused to consider any talk of war-crimes accusations against American officials or military personnel within the context of its various armed interventions around the world.
In 2002, amid the US invasion of Afghanistan, and just ahead of its bombing of Iraq and removal of Saddam Hussein from power, Congress passed The American Service-Members Protection Act, known informally as The Hague Invasion Act, which allows all means necessary and appropriate to bring about the release of any U.S. or allied personnel being detained or imprisoned by, on behalf of, or at the request of the International Criminal Court. It also prohibits cooperation with, and extradition of Americans to, the court for trial.
