is torture an official act? are war crimes? both are criminal under U.S. law. what happens to presidential command responsibility? also, if POTUS is immune from prosecution, there is no complementarity. the court has made it easier for the ICC to pursue cases ag american presidents.

If the President orders his staff or military or whomever to do something illegal, are they also immune?

we are all understandably focused on how the court undermines domestic rule of law. but it's striking just how out of step the court is with the long-term trend of senior official responsibility for war crimes, crimes ag humanity and genocide.

Idk enough about international law to grasp how complementarity works. Could you help me understand, "the court has made it easier for the ICC to pursue cases ag american presidents"? Does that mean if U.S. prez orders war crimes and U.S. has no internal ability to prosecute, ICC would step in?
