"The American Service-Members' Protection Act (ASPA, Title 2 of Pub. L. 107–206 (text) (PDF), H.R. 4775, 116 Stat. 820, enacted August 2, 2002), known informally as the Hague Invasion Act, is a United States federal law described as "a bill to protect United States military personnel and other elected and appointed officials of the United States government against criminal prosecution by an international criminal court to which the United States is not party."[1] The text of the Act has been codified as subchapter II of chapter 81 of title 22, United States Code.
...
The United States is not a member of the International Criminal Court (ICC). The Act authorizes the President of the United States to use "all means necessary and appropriate to bring about the release of any U.S. or allied personnel being detained or imprisoned by, on behalf of, or at the request of the International Criminal Court". This authorization led to the act being colloquially nicknamed "The Hague Invasion Act", as the act allows the President to order U.S. military action, such as an invasion of The Hague, where the ICC is located, to protect American officials and military personnel from prosecution or rescue them from custody.[2][3]"
There was a time when the world did not dare talking about this american presumption. But the times they are a-changin´. If the American people does not wake up soon and restore their great Republic the US will end as a marginalized country on a sidelined continent.
Did I just hear the trap being sprung?
The USA has refused to recognise the ICCJ but now it does and by doing so it has placed The USA itself within it's jurisdiction.
these clowns don't do joined up thinking.
Excellent call, pede.
👍👌
Agreed. I laughed when I saw it. Hard to believe they are that stupid! Bring it on.
