"It is our understanding that should not have an impact on the Prosecutor's travel to the US to meet her obligations to the UN, including regular briefings before the UN Security Council," her office said in a statement. "The Office of the Prosecutor has an independent and impartial mandate under the Rome Statute of the ICC.
"Read MorePompeo also warned about potential economic sanctions"if the ICC does not change its course."The US is not a member of the ICC. In November 2017, Bensouda sought authorization to open an investigation into crimes connected to the conflict in Afghanistan. According to a statement from the time, Bensouda's office"determined that there is a reasonable basis to believe" that members of the US armed forces and the CIA committed"war crimes.
Jihggghgghhhhhgghug
What good are these things if a country can stop an investigation by just revoking entry? There should be some kind of sanctions or something that can be done to either remove or make null and void that revocation.
Next time THE US will want to investigate elsewhere in the world, same with them No Visa, when are you going back to democracy?
What about the war crimes of the taliban ?
There must be a good reason. In war, there is much deceit by the enemy. Collateral damage always happens.
Cover up by military might !
It's a shame to humanity

Just another s-h lawyer with an invasive agenda, so what....
Awesome!! That's why President Trump is so AWESOME!
It's good to see hunter being hunted. US is guilty of human rights abuses just like other countries
Every party in every war commits war crimes, that is why there should never be wars
We either believe in justice or we don't. If we do, then we have to apply it fairly and consistently to everyone, no matter what country they come from. Let's have this investigation, and then decide what to do, based on the facts.
Dictatorship at it's best
Why does the USA proclaim itself as a beacon of DEMOCRACY then! I guess it's a country of hypocrisy

ronaldnzimora Nemesis...but u ghost after other nations
Power is Power
This is America.....Childish Gambino
USA IS FULL OF STORIES CNN SPREAD THEM.
This can’t be true, surely the US is more sophisticated than this . Trump makes welcome murderous Dictators but not a women who prosecutes murderers . Oh the irony of it.This is another example of the absolute decay of America’s moral authority.
Looks like that April Fool's joke about the UN moving to Toronto might be necessary after all...
We are so quick to run our mouth about other countries. It’s time to OWN it ‘Merica ‘
That’s nice, obstructing international law which has worked well for the US
🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Americans don't commit war crimes. Right?
Oh?
Obstruction of justice?
Good stuff!! After the way ICC harassed Uhuru Kenyatta - President of Kenya 🇰🇪
USA does not answer to the World, we have our own constitution and laws. Stay away from our country.
We don't need this person here.
That's the Trump Administration for ya.
U.S. has become a banana Republic
This is just sick, Europe need to ban Trump...!
90% White folks are evil. She is blocked for being black.
Tell the international court to kiss our butt! They are just another international organization like the U.N. Useless in most circumstances!
Psh...
American cowards
Oh oh.....
Refusing to be accountable by means of using government power. That's all part of corruption. It's how the USA is perceived by the rest of the world. And they prove it over and over again.
Dictator Trump
It's a war everything is fair.
Wow now we knew the real ISIS BOKO HARAM ALQAEEDA ALSHABAB are. .. evil that men do will live after them
The United States is officially a rogue state.
Nothing new. Dirty is as dirty does🤷🏿♂️
Yes, but I thought we weren’t supposed to call people names like that...
Fake news
Geez!! What’s next?
Impossible to recognise u s a today very very sad
Democracy !!! Bullshit
Was a easy call for the Trump administration, she is a woman and a person of color.
Pompeo is covering Israeli crimes as well .
The “beacon of the free world” doesn’t want to be exposed for war crimes.
Beschämend....
Unbelievable, but then again consider this administration 🤬🤬🤬
Shame on us.
Good
Nope not hiding anything at all 😂

What are we afraid of, dead bodies in the mideast, Guantanamo ?
Yea you can’t come
She dindu nuffin
US revokes the entry visa of Fatou Bensouda, the chief prosecutor for the International Criminal Court, her office says. Secretary of State Pompeo threatened such action to deter an game of clue by the ICC into alleged war crimes by the US in Afghanistan.
The International Criminal Court must charge, try and convict the TinyDickTater realDonaldTrump and his whole family/administration & the GOP with CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY and sentence them all to death. The world would be eternally grateful.
The American govt enjoy invading other countries in the fake name of peace keeping only to destabilize the regions and kill innocent men and women. Now ICC is trying to bring justice to the victims,they decide to revoke FATOU visa.what a hypocrisy of USA.
Charity begins at home. For a government that can't abide by law at home, cant abide by international law too...
Imagine a country that claimed to be practicing democracy and calling their govt the best in the world is refusing to be held accountable for their war crime in Afghanistan but,they are holding other countries accountable for same the crime! What a bullshit.
I would imagine that,at some point in history,Any and Every country that has been at war has committed war crimes. Some things are inevitable in the heat of battle.
That is a matter for US courts not for foreign courts.
The criminal president is doing his best to make the entire nation a criminal enterprise. Disgusting that he would drag Americans into his muddy criminal conspiracy. realdonaldtrump potus MUST BE ARRESTED. LockHimUp FakePresident
But she should have a diplomatic passport though which doesn’t require a visa!
Doesn’t seem in anyway something a dictator would do! A free and fair government without blame would also do the same won’t they? America is turning to some so called third world country. Democracy Eh!
JajTyson they think they are above the law...
Just the kind of action you take when you’re totally innocent I suppose .😜
Us vision of justice lol
The so law abiding country it's about time dick Cheney and George Bush face the music,Iraq as well
?
Kudos Bensouda, it is time that the world outside Africa feel the heat. Crimes happen outside Africa too & these victims need justice too.
Oh ya, this is totally normal 😳
eclecticbrotha As AndreaChalupa said on the recent episode of gaslitnation, 'we aren't sitting around waiting for Authorianism to arrive, it's here. This is the start of it.'
Eventually she will come into 🇺🇸 and hold US responsible. All with time.
....what are they hiding ?
That actionon just declared The US GUILTY!
She is useless !
The US military are criminals, not just in Afghanistan either.....
Guess what, nobody will say shit.
Kylie Jenner who!!? Her lips are ON😂😂
eclecticbrotha america is so broken
Good news
Wow what does the Philippines and the US governments have in common? They’re both aftaid of the ICC
The stuff dictatorships do.
Impunity!!!!
Astonishing!
Guilty by suspicion
👍 well done
Retaliate much?
Everything from this Administration seems to be moronic
This is why Bush Jr and Cheney never leave this country, they’re considered war criminals by this court. (They ARE war criminals)
Pompeo , a devout Christian? My foot
Just another wanna hand-out crap-clap. AOC will be up in arms over this... Her Ikea furniture building will need to be put on hold... MAYBE We should just pull out and let the chips fall...
Revoke visas, blocking reports. This President has a lot too hide! monumentalmoron
Well, if she were allowed in the US perhaps, she could give us a perusal of our southern border that the US is hurting people there. I bet she would be appalled.
Shameful
Always more than the headline. US is not a member of ICC.
Unbelievable. What are Trump and Pompeo afraid of?
Time to defund the entire UN. They are a corrupt organization that supports tyrants and dictators. Rife with bribery scandals
I recall when American diplomats walked out on President KagutaMuseveni after he blasted the ICC at his swearing in? Mr Google Sir wama tell me what is Democracy?And is It true that Uncle Sam is a saint,rules the world and is so perfect he can’t be brought before the ICC?
is this who we are? do you remember when our country stood for something? When we were respected the world over and mostly admired. what the fk happened to us?
So yeah...the US is very rapidly heading towards becoming a totalitarian, fascist country eh? Cool.
She should first look at some countries in Africa.Such as Cameroon and Nigeria were their leaders are using military to murder thousands of people who are peacefully demanding for their independence.AMAZONIA BIAFRA IPOB SUDAN FULANIHERDSMEN
This should be talked about more
Read this. . And then read it again
What's with All the Bots here?
What audacity by the learned prosecutor!!!....Crimes against humanity can only be committed by third world or sh*thole countries.. definitely never by “civilized” ones
The US is now a bully.
If it was another country, camanpour and her show would've labeled them, dictators, lawless, cruel and human rights abusers! We watch on....
Never thought we’d see the day that the United States Government would try to cover up for war criminals. Disgusting beyond belief.
This means ICC was formed for African countries. Let me hope that US govt will never lecture any country on crimes against humanity.
RaineyRave Everyone knows that people who are innocent of war crimes do this!!!!!
But you like poking your noses to others....,shame on you'
Lay off Joe Biden!
America is the law. Without America = anarchy and war. I am guessing these war crimes took place during the bush era if it is in Afghanistan.
Même au Burundi elle ne peut être reçu je pense.
Come through Mexico. 😝
Pathetic
Guilt overload
What will Trump and Pompeo do when the U.N. investigats what's really going on at the U.S-Mexico border?
If there is nothing to hide.................oh wait, there must be.
Spoiler: The US did a LOT of War Crimes.
We should've dropped napalm on every poppy field in Afghanistan 20 years ago. We should've done it yesterday and the day before, and the day before that. The people of Afghanistan are evil. Their income livelihood should be destroyed.
To all my U.S friends please wake up .... this is not right ...
Interfering with Justice. Actions speak louder than words. ICC is only for Third World countries....sad
What a silly move...
CNN..always supporting the little guy.. or anyone or any organization that is totally Marxist and anti-United States..
She never advances case loads. She just sits and makes videos with empty statements
Me too
Oh my, what have we become.
Maybe just want to spare her trouble of investigating too many crimes, or there is nothing to investigate?
Seems like the sort of thing totally innocent people would do.
But MBS and his Bone Saw are welcome.
Always a good sign when you don’t want people looking into your possible war crimes
This is the type of things dictatorships do
