Newsroom, Jul 31, 2020 \/ 06:00 pm (CNA).- The military bishop of Germany says that U.S. soldiers should be held accountable to the International Criminal Court (ICC) for alleged war crimes. A Catholic University law professor said that while international cooperation for justice is important, the U.S. is not a signatory to the treaty that created the international court. \u201cThe rule of law, and with it peace between peoples and nations, is at stake,\u201d wrote Bishop Franz-Josef Overbeck of the Catholic Military Episcopal Office of Germany on July 30. He called it \u201ctragic and contrary to American tradition\u201d that the U.S. has announced sanctions against ICC officials who have attempted to investigate members of the U.S. military and CIA for alleged war crimes committed in Afghanistan. \u201cIf the U.S. succeeds in its attempt to hinder the International Criminal Court\u2019s investigations in Afghanistan, it will provide Russia and China arguments for doing as they please in their area.."}
