🚨 NEW PUB ALERT 🚨
** The #ICC is opening war crimes cases against #Russia -- so why isn’t the #USA helping? **
Read my @latimes op-ed to find out…

#AtrocityCrimes: Like others, U.S. politicians have decried Russia’s atrocity crimes in #Ukraine. President #Biden called it a #genocide. VP Harris recently said the U.S. has determined Russia has committed #CrimesAgainstHumanity.

#Investigations: And the U.S. is already helping Ukraine investigate these crimes. While Ukraine is already holding trials of Russians, it wants the ICC involved. But the @nytimes reports the Pentagon is blocking this – why?

#USFear: The U.S. has committed atrocity crimes in the past, including in #Iraq and Afghanistan. It fears cooperation now will lead to ICC indictments of U.S. soldiers / citizens later.

#Obligation:
Those fears, while grounded on the reality of past US crimes, are unwarranted. This is a moment when strategic and moral interests converge. The U.S. needs to help hold Russia accountable. It’s the right thing to do.
