White House says it is undergoing 'legal review process' to determine if Russia is committing war crimes
After Kamala Harris said today that there should absolutely be an investigation into Russia committing war crimes by invading Ukraine, the White House has clarified that there is a legal review process the US government goes through before labeling an event a war crime.
A reporter asked the White House press secretary, Jen Psaki, during her press briefing about why the US has not labeled the bombing of a maternity hospital in Mariupol a war crime.
Theres a legal review process that the United States undergoes to make considerations of labeling something as a war crime, Psaki said. That is the ongoing process that were pursuing at this point in time. Obviously, if Russia is intentionally targeting civilians, that would be a war crime, but we need to go through the legal assessment and review to make a formal conclusion.
