Unveiling the results of a lengthy initial probe into atrocities committed in Afghanistan, prosecutor Fatou Bensouda said the Taliban militia, Afghan government forces and US troops as well as the CIA all appeared to have carried out war crimes.

Estados Unidos se opone a toda investigación de la Corte Penal Internacional (CPI) sobre personal estadounidense en Afganistán, afirmó este miércoles al Consejo de Seguridad la embajadora estadounidense adjunta en la ONU, Michele Sison.

“No creemos que una investigación de la CPI serviría ni a los intereses de la paz ni de la justicia en Afganistán”, manifestó la representante estadounidense durante una reunión del Consejo de Seguridad consagrada a Libia y a la CPI, en presencia de su fiscal, la gambiana Fatou Bensouda.
