US Senate - CIA Torture Report 



Washington Post article re above & chances of USA facing ICC for violation of international law re war crimes:

Stephen Rapp, U.S. ambassador-at-large for war crimes issues:
Insists that:  as USA not a member-state (signatory) to Rome Statute, the court has no right to investigate alleged war crimes committed by its citizens.
Eugene Kontorovich
professor at Northwestern University School of Law
expert on constitutional & international law:

... observes, the torture report “gives significant impetus and ammunition to the ICC’s investigation."
Afghanistan War Crimes Prosecution
of USA - Requires:

going high up the political food chain
ie.  Bush administration “most responsible”
for deploying torture as a means of war

[Mark Kersten, WashingtonPost]


NOTE
There's provisions in international law that enable states to prosecute those that admit to having committed crimes in other states (or something like that).  But I can't see any takers challenging the imperial might of USA.
