So what if, , an american soldier is for some odd reason taken and convicted of war crimes by the ICC, and taken to the Hague for trial? Would the US use deadly force to free him from Belgium?
"The stated purpose of the amendment was "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. The amendment is intended to weaken the position of the International Criminal Court in The Hague. It authorizes the President to use “all means necessary and appropriate to bring about the release of any [US or allied personnel] being detained or imprisoned by, on behalf of, or at the request of the International Criminal Court”
What would happen if the ICC did try to hold an American soldier, and give him a trial?
