their words but at the same time in one way or another they dismissed really the importance of what john bolton was saying let me just read to you what they told us we are aware that bolton is to deliver a speech and talk about the international criminal court but the court believes that it benefits from the membership of one hundred twenty three parties representing all regions of the world in one way or another really defending its credibility defending its legitimacy even though the united states is not a member of the i.c.c. and in their statement they also talk about their commitment to quote independent and impartial exercise of our mandate saying that they're not going to pick really and choose which cases to try because we know that the united states and the i.c.c. has had a rocky relationship since it was established years ago but the situation the relationship really house is worse than following the prosecutor's determination to try cases involving the u.s. military and the u.s. intelligence in afghanistan and that's what we heard bolton say we will not allow them to try this case th

i c c did not react to following john bolton speech but when x. excerpts of his speech were released by the media they did send us a statement now in their statement of the courts of mentions that it benefits from the membership of of some one hundred fifty parties from from across the world trying really to defend its credibility even though the united states is not a member of the court also in that statement the i.c.c. saying that it will continue its mandate to carry out what it calls in the pen with an impartial investigations almost trying to say that it's not going to pick and choose court cases and that if it wants to try the afghan case it will so it use the pla matic language unlike the language used by bolton but at the end of the day without the political will of countries the i.c.c. cannot function we did speak to human rights defenders as well as former prosecutors and they're saying that the united states acts as if it is above the law that oh yes the nationals of every country can be tried apart from u.s. nationals and that the uni

so john bolton basically is the same john bolton he was in the bush administration.e made destroying the court a lifetime project and goal. the difference now, he is in this place where he can do more than what he was doing in the bush years. it is a very dangerousus attackn the international body where 1 3 countries are members, many of them are close u u.s. allies, particularly in europe, that is this body andfend yet we see john bolton perhaps wants to score points with the political base, people supporting trump in the u.s., by invoking distorted and misinformation about the fact the court is likely to investigate crimes that actually do not exist under the law of the icc. -- at the very tipping point or the administration is basically saying, we're going to have a frontal attack on judges and prosecutors -- by the way, there is no legal theory to support that. i don't understand what it is, how it is that they would be prosecuting judges for the mere doing their job and responsibility under international treaty that is recognized, again, and ratified by 1 120 th

are taking you to washington now where national security adviser john bolton is addressing the federalist society and what is his fast may just speech since he joined the white house at the center of nation states even those with strong constitutions representative governments and the rule of law . in theory the i.c.c. holds perpetrators of the most egregious atrocities accountable for their crimes provides justice to the victims and deters future abuses in practice however the court has been ineffective and accountable and indeed outright dangerous moreover this is code pink my friends who follow me around so i i i apologize for the background noise but there we go. moreover the largely outspoken but always central aim of the most vigorous supporters was to constrain the united states the objective was not limited to targeting individual u.s. service members but rather america's senior political leadership and its relentless determination to keep our country. secure the i.c.c. was formally established in july two thousand and two following the entry into force of the rome statute in may

as being somewhat ineffectual in terms of the fact that it has in the words of john bolton one point five billion dollars but just secured eight convictions so essentially undermining it but particularly concerned about the fact that there is now this concern that if it takes action against the united states by potentially prosecuting u.s. soldiers or other u.s. members of the u.s. government working in afghanistan for war crimes that in fact the u.s. would sanction judges from the international criminal court potentially not only blocking entry into the united states but prosecuting those individuals under the u.s. criminal criminal justice system and our other top stories the u.n. is saying more than thirty thousand people have been displaced by fighting in syria's last major rebel held province in the north government an ally russian forces of increase that bombardment of adlib in the past few days as well as parts of adjacent hama aid groups say they are unprepared to deal with the scale of the potential humanitarian crisis here. at least six people have been killed and another s

president donald trump's national security adviser in just a few moments time john bolton is set to threaten to sanction the i.c.c. if they proceed with an investigation into alleged war crimes committed by americans in afghanistan it will be his first major address since joining the white house or bolton has also confirmed the closure of palestine's diplomatic mission in washington this reportedly in retaliation for palestinian attempts to prompt an i.c.c. investigation into israel well this is the scene now where the national security adviser is expected to address the crowd this is the room at the federalist society in washington and our white house correspondent is following everything for us tell us more about what john bolton is expected to say. you know expect there are going to be two different headlines the first the announcement about the closing of the palestinian mission here in washington something that the white house has long been threatening and now it appears that the national security adviser john bolton will may be making good on that threat the second point and it is rela

yes harsh language from john bolton the i.c.c. did not react after the speech but they did read the excerpts of that speech which was leaked to the media and we reached out to officials and the i.c.c. in the statement that they gave really they used diplomatic language in one way or another trying to dismiss really the importance of the united states when they say the court benefits from the membership of one hundred twenty three parties representing all regions of the world so dismissing the fact that the united states is not a member of this organization also in that statement the i.c.c. statement they remain committed quote to independent import impartial exercise of our mandate saying really we're not going to pick and choose which cases we are going to try but what is not clear is will the i.c.c. pursue you know trying the u.s. military and u.s. intelligence service men in afghanistan for alleged war crimes because we know that when the poor prosecutor formally requested this this is really what angered the united states they

because it was very direct language being used there by john bolton. well john bull and started off declaring it illegitimate and then announced that the us would henceforth be rejecting international oversight to protect itself from war crimes investigations and even promise to punish those that operate with these investigations according to bolton international law threatens us sovereignty as some believe that this is a statement that the us wants to protect itself and secure its right to invade other countries overseas but that's just what other people said now bull and also seem to be justifying future acts of us aggression saying quote history is prob proven that the only deterrent to evil in atrocity is what franklin roosevelt once called the righteous might of the united states and its allies now if he even attempted to legitimize past acts of u.s. aggression using the examples of the military raid to kill osama bin ladin and a recent airstrikes against the syrian government which both baucus on and syria viewed as a violations of national sovere

national security adviser on the international criminal court what was the point of john bolton speech today in many regards of this really reflects a longstanding agenda for mr bolton dating back to his period before he entered the george w. bush administration he was a noted critic of international institutions or into this part of the international institute.

laura: why is john bolton going after the international criminal court so hard? is it to do with protecting u.s. soldiers in afghanistan? barbara: john bolton has always been probably the strongest critic of the international criminal court in america. he really sees it as a threat to american sovereignty. w he is, yes, facing his worst nightmare, the possibility that american citizens could be prosecuted by the court for activities in afghanistan, because the icc prosecutor asked prmission to investigate potential war crimes. you see john bolton coming out full throttle in the fight back, saying that th is not going to happen, we are going to take action, if they try to do that, icc personnel will face sanctions and travel bans and perhaps criminal charges in u.s. court. ry strong stuff. laura: on the bigger picture, doesn't the trump administration still have a middle east peaceve plan it may ? barbara: it keeps saying that it will. it says it has a detailed plan it wants to put forward. officials say the israelis won't like some of it, palestinians won't like

hawks but in different and important ways someone for example like the national security advisor john bolton is looking to build a case with terrorism data like in this report to build a case for regime change to overthrow the government in iran that's what someone like national security advisor john bolton is looking at someone like secretary of state pump alle tho and perhaps even president trump himself is looking to build a case against iran including with terrorism data like in this report in order to put maximum pressure on iran to force iran to sign a wide ranging broad treaty with the united states as is their approach with north korea because president trump and secretary pompei you don't really care that much about the the subtleties or the data involving terrorism our nuclear weapons or any of the other list of concerns united states puts out there so you have someone like secretary pompei oh maybe even defense secretary mattis and maybe even present trump himself against these these other players like secretary like national security advisor john bolton who want to overthrow the

hurricane rages over the atlantic this week mr mustache of self united states national security adviser john bolton senate shot across the bow of the international criminal court on monday bolton was pure fire and fury over the i.c.c. investigations into alleged war crimes perpetrated by the united states in afghanistan and the possibility of an investigation into israel's abuses of palestinian citizens declaring quote the united states will use any means necessary to protect our citizens and those of our allies from unjust persecute prosecution by this illegitimate court if the court comes after us israel or other u.s. allies we will not sit quietly both men vowed from his high horse in washington d.c. about not only with the united states retaliate by banning i.c.c. judges and prosecutors from entering the us imposing sanctions on any funds they have in the states and prosecuting them in the american court system the i.c.c. responded the court was established in constituted under the rome statute as an instrument to. sure accountability for crimes that shock the conscience of humanity the court i

media and it really the speech by the national security advisor john bolton foley seems to have about two main headlines that as you touched on the first is the closing of the palestinian mission in washington the second is the threat of criminal sanctions against the international criminal court now why is all of this important what this marks as you point out is a serious escalation by the united states in terms of its effort to in the view of the united states press the palestinian side toward peace talks but as you point out given the fact that the u.s. has essentially with many of its actions taken the side of israel in those talks it's very hard to see how this could come about you cited the the fact that the aid has been cut to palestinians the moving of the embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem and then of course the policy on settlements essentially turning a blind eye to those ongoing settlement expansion so all of this we should put into context because certainly the concerns by the palestinians with regard to this threat is not new we do know in fact that the united states di

without further ado, please welcome ambassador john bolton. [applause] mr. bolton: thank you for your kind introduction and for the invitation to be here today. it is a real honor. an enormous difference in american law and the legal profession. as jean mentioned, i was in law school and it was a pretty small crowd. at the time a was there, bob was nominated to be solicitor eneral by president nixon. ralph said, looking at that nomination that the first sentence in the new york times story the next morning should be, yesterday, president nixon appointed as his new solicitor general 20% of all the conservatives at yale law chool. so obviously, times have changed due in no small part to the ederalist society. i am really grateful for the opportunity. i'm here to make a major announcement on u.s. policy toward the international criminal court or icc. after years of effort by a self-styled global government advocate, the supranational tribunal that could supersede national sovereignties are then directly prosecute individuals for alleged war crimes was greed in 1

right there you've got yourself a problem and israel is not a member of it either don't forget john bolton was the u.n. ambassador for a time under george w. bush this rome. declaration which the u.s. did not sign on to was in two thousand and two under george w. bush who really wanted nothing to do with this court it wasn't until barack obama came around that he cozied up to them and now as you might expect donald trump is saying look we're not interested in these international bodies that are on checked in rogue having any legal authority over our citizens or those of our allies we quit the human rights council that the united nations in june for much the same reason bias by the by the body there was a kangaroo court it was a mockery we quit that i'm not surprised that we're fighting back against the i.c.c. see that the drug administration isn't the first u.s. presidential administration to battle with and ultimately work to undermine the power of the i.c.c. obviously the george bush administration actively oppose the court in its first term and he said even president barack obama issued

i think that john bolton made some tremendous points in this speech.ointing out that in the international criminal court is not america's friend. but the court seeks to, in some cases, try to prosecute u.s. citizens and it is also seeking to potentially prosecute israelis at the behest of the palestinians. and so john bolton made it absolutely clear that the united states is not going to give any cooperation whatsoever to the international criminal court, and if it indeed seeks to prosecute americans there will be a very furious backlash from the trump administration against the icc including potential sanctions against the international criminal court. and he also announced which is absolutely the right policy, that the united states is closing down the office of the palestinian liberation organization, the plo, which has a very shady and checkered past. this is an organization that has a long history of terrorist activity and it has more recently been calling for a prosecution by the international criminal court of israeli citizens, of so-called war

john bolton outlined threats of sanctions and a ban on travel to the u.s.tes with the icc. the speech comes two weeks before president trump attends the u.n. general assembly. trump will reportedly focus on u.s. claims about the threat posed by iran and will voice his opposition to the nuclear deal with tehran. >>> a gag order has been imposed in the trial for maria buttina. filings made last week reveal new information about buttina's communications to russia about the hacked dnc server. the filing shows she expressed regret about the hack because her efforts to befriend politicians would probably be misinterpreted. her access to sergey kislyak was more extensive than previously thought. they cite photos of the two together. prosecutors has noted that moscow has issued more diplomatic notes on buttina's behalf than any other russian citizen being held in the u.s. in the past year. >>> still ahead, one gubernatorial hopeful creates an uproar with new yorkers over her b bagel order. >>> and the very latest on hurricane florence as parts of the east coast bra

as the director of human rights program at the american civil liberties union he says john bolton has long opposed the existence of the i.c.c. . now he has a chance under trump do not only to shut down the investigation as united states but also to undermine the credibility of the i.c.c. as one of the foremost and the most important judicial bodies that is in charge of fighting impunity and i think this is really important this is part and parcel of a general policy of the u.s. in particular under trump to deny any for injuries diction with regard to u.s. work crimes or crimes against humanity. thousands of people have been displaced within syria's province in the last week alone due to an increase in the number of as strikes against president is calling on international community to take action to stop the russian and syrian government attacks. eighteen people have been killed in central nigeria after a gas depo exploded it happened in the other camps of nasr our state more than forty others were taken to hospital with serious burns. lawyers brazil's jailed former president luiz inac

sanctions but john bolton the u.s. national security advisers assume nobody will get away with undermining u.s. sanctions so are we heading then for some kind of serious showdown between the u.s. and europe over iran. yes and i think that's intentional not only to put more pressure on iran but to divide the european union one of the most important foreign policy objectives of the trump administration is to divide the european union to force european countries especially countries like germany and france and the united kingdom for each of them to deal with the united states by laterally where the united states has leverage over them particularly in trade relationships so the united states is no longer interested under the trunk administration in a coherent politically strong european union it would like to divide them and the year the iran issue is perfect for the trying to ministration to use against the europeans to show them as weak and ineffectual that they can't even stand up for a deal they negotiated then let me
