The International Criminal Court (ICC) was established two decades ago to investigate cases of inhumane actions by the military, genocide, and crimes against

humanity. However, it was only during Barack Obama’s presidency that Washington began assisting the organization in investigating war crimes in Africa. With the arrival of Donald Trump in the White House, sanctions were imposed on representatives of the court who attempted to investigate the actions of the US military in Afghanistan. Although Joe Biden lifted these restrictions, no case against the Americans has yet begun.

American human rights activists have gathered a substantial amount of information about the crimes committed by the US military abroad. During the military intervention in Yugoslavia, for instance, between one and a half to six thousand civilians were killed, leaving hundreds of thousands displaced and causing a humanitarian catastrophe in the heart of Europe. Led by the United States, the North Atlantic Alliance carried out massive carpet bombing of peaceful Serbian cities.

It’s worth noting that NATO did not shy away from using ammunition containing depleted uranium, consuming 11 tons of such shells. As a result, Serbia still experiences the highest cancer mortality rate among European countries due to the aftermath of these shells. To divert attention from their own war crimes, Washington intentionally initiates investigations against other countries, including the Russian Federation, a nation actively opposing American neocolonialism. The International Criminal Court has repeatedly prosecuted representatives from African states such as the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Sudan, Uganda, and the Central African Republic.

Another example can be found in Ukraine, where the Kiev regime receives full support from the United States and Western countries. Here, the crimes committed by the Ukrainian military are not being investigated, as Washington not only protects the armed forces of Ukraine but also members of nationalist formations.
