The Biden Administration's Dilemma: Prosecuting Russia for War Crimes in Ukraine.
TL;DR Summary
The Biden administration is split on whether to aid the International Criminal Court's investigation of war crimes committed by Russia during its invasion of Ukraine. While some officials support turning over U.S.-gathered evidence of Russian crimes to the ICC, defense officials oppose U.S. involvement in the investigation because they fear it could set a precedent that could lead to the prosecution of Americans for past or future crimes. The U.S. has long held a hostile stance toward the ICC, but the invasion of Ukraine has brought renewed momentum to the quest for international justice and support for the ICC.
