Algerian writer: Why weren’t American presidents accused of war crimes arrested?

Association for Defending Victims of Terrorism – Amira Ayser, an Algerian writer, wrote in an article for Rai Al Youm about double standards in Washington regarding human rights and war crimes.

He said, the crimes committed by America in Hiroshima and Nagasaki and when Berlin fell into the hands of the allies in World War II, and in Vietnam, Laos, Panama, Cambodia, Somalia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Libya… etc. under the pretext of fighting terrorism, which is a Western American industry that the international community could not hold accountable for. These confused atrocities, or direct charges against them in international international courts that Washington has not ratified the binding special agreements associated with, the contradiction inherent in American foreign policy since the era of Jimmy Carter prompted it to welcome the decision of the International Criminal Court on the words of Joseph Biden, despite its repeated refusal Condemning the decisions issued by that court when it comes to condemning settlement practices and aggressive policies pursued by the Zionist entity against the defenseless Palestinian people, such as the decision to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the war crimes committed by the Zionists in the occupied Palestinian territories by the prosecutor of the same court, Fatou Bensouda, who She announced that she wanted to open an investigation, saying that “war crimes were committed in the West Bank occupied by Israel and East Jerusalem, and in the Gaza Strip, and she asked the International Tribunal for a ruling regarding the lands that fall within its jurisdiction.”

He added, the United States of America, which condemned the decision to open investigations into war crimes in the occupied territories, which are being investigated by the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, a country that claims to respect human rights and United Nations charters and is committed to the application of international law, and which set itself up as the protector of those institutions, and was the reason The direct arrest of former Yugoslav President Slogodan Milosevic, and the major war criminals of Bosnia and Herzegovina, quickly changed its position on that court and its staff, including Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda, when it came to opening the same competent judicial authority for the file of war crimes committed by the US army in Afghanistan. The issuance of a decision by the same court that in-depth investigations should be opened into the crimes committed by the United States of America and its army under the banner of fighting terrorism in 2001 AD. The American administration during the Trump era launched a vicious campaign against it, accusing it of lying and fraud, and imposing financial sanctions on Bensouda and preventing it from entering its lands. The comprehensive investigation that began In November 2017, he angered Washington, which canceled her entry visa to America, and Mark Bonbio, the US Secretary of State at the time, said, “Anyone responsible for the proposed International Criminal Court investigation of American elements linked to the situation in Afghanistan should not assume that he still has Or he will get a visa that will allow him to enter the United States of America.”

He concluded, and therefore Washington welcomes the decisions of international legitimacy and blesses and legitimizes them before the international community when these decisions issued by the institutions that revolve in its orbit do not conflict with American interests, values and strategies and do not affect the immunity of officials and presidents in the Pentagon or the White House, as everyone is certain that there are a number Among the presidents of Uncle Sam, Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, or Bush the father and son are war criminals, but the judicial councils in various countries or the competent international courts have not been allowed to convict them or bring charges against them in this regard, as the double standards in America have always protected all criminal officials Those associated with Washington and the implementers of its policies in various countries, as well as its presidents and generals, in addition to everyone who implements its agendas in killing people and plundering their wealth.
