No war crimes investigation
JUDGES at the International Criminal Court have rejected a request by the court’s prosecutor to open an investigation into war crimes in Afghanistan and alleged crimes by US forces linked to the conflict.
They said an investigation “would not serve the interests of justice” those involved, including the US and local Afghan warlords, are not expected to co-operate.
