International Criminal Court judges have ordered the prosecution to halt investigations against US forces in Afghanistan.
International Criminal Court (ICC) judges have ordered prosecutors to halt investigations into crimes allegedly committed by US forces in Afghanistan, shifting the court's focus to crimes allegedly committed by the Taliban since its return to power in 2021.
The decision, given on Thursday and published on Friday, cited as justification for the decision the "significant limitations on the prosecution's ability to conduct its investigations and secure evidence".
