The world is trying to figure out how to hold Putin accountable for the unprovoked war crimes Russia has committed in Ukraine. However, when it comes to the International Criminal Court (ICC), the situation is complicated because these two countries are not members of the ICC. Yet, according to ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan, the ICC will launch an investigation into “allegations of war crimes, crimes against humanity or genocide committed on any part of the territory of Ukraine by any person.”
We’ve presented oral arguments in cases at the ICC, so we have tremendous insight into how this court works. ACLJ Senior Counsel Andy Ekonomou explained how they don’t have jurisdiction in this matter, even though Russia is clearly committing war crimes:
"Getting jurisdiction is a totally different matter. And the office of the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has said he is there; he is on the ground, Karin Khan . . . who is the new prosecutor . . . and he is in Ukraine claiming that he has jurisdiction in the pretrial chamber to which the case has been referred. Because he can claim he has jurisdiction, but then in order to get the go-ahead, he's got to go to the pretrial chamber which consists of three judges at the International Criminal Court at the Hague . . . and then they have to give him the authority to proceed further."
While Russia is committing war crimes, the United States is still relying on them for oil. Congressman Chip Roy (TX-21) tweeted out how this is problematic:
"If even $1 is appropriated next week for Ukraine & we don’t fully open American oil & gas (ANWR, Pipelines, FERC regs, offshore, federal lands, permitting, & more) it’s a FAIL . . . setting aside fight on COVIDStan mandates, border, & other direct attacks on Americans!"
Rep. Roy joined Sekulow to further explain that tweet:
"We’ve got a $32 billion package brewing in Washington right now, money to go to . . . Ukraine, but also Ukrainian humanitarian assistance, but also a whole bunch of COVID money . . . so, I am just bringing up and raising the question . . . if $1 is appropriated . . . and Republicans support it next week, that is going to go towards the Ukrainian situation that we are dealing with right now and we don’t free up American energy, then it’s a fraud. And we need to call them all out on it. It’s a front. They are going to say no no no, the Green New Deal is our solution for energy independence. . . . It will leave America behind, it will empower our enemies, and it will drive up the cost of our energy in this country. . . . The radical Left actually wants to use this war to advance the radical Green New Deal. . . . What they really want is to use this for an overall world order about how to reset the energy landscape, and that means shutting down American energy and being reliant on China and Russia."
