Letter: ‘If Putin is to be tried at The Hague, so should these (U.S.) presidents’

March 24, 2023

The International Criminal Court has issued a warrant against Russian President Vladimir Putin for war crimes stemming from that nation’s illegal invasion of Ukraine. Yet, the ICC has never issued a warrant for a U.S. president — including Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump and Biden — for their responsibility for war crimes in Afghanistan, Libya, Iraq, Syria, and Somalia that have left 1 million people dead and nearly 40 million displaced.  If Putin is to be tried at The Hague, so should these presidents. We need to take notice and protest this great hypocrisy.
