The Pentagon is rejecting findings of the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court in The Hague who concluded that members of the U.S. military may have committed war crimes in their treatment and questioning of detainees in Afghanistan between 2003-14.

The U.S. says the investigation of the U.S. personnel in Afghanistan is neither warranted nor appropriate, because the U.S. is not a party to the applicable statute and therefore has never consented to the ICC jurisdiction.
