Russia Pulls Out of International Criminal Court

HeadlineNov 17, 2016

Russia has pulled out of the International Criminal Court, only one day after the court called the Russian annexation of Crimea an “occupation” in a report. Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte said Wednesday he might also withdraw from the court. The United States is not a member of the International Criminal Court, although U.S. officials are currently facing the possibility of being prosecuted by the court for war crimes in Afghanistan.
