International Criminal Court (ICC)
International War Crimes Prosecution and AccountabilityDescription
Admiral Fitzwallace warns Leo that proof of U.S. military cover-up in the Qumar missing-plane incident—dismantled emergency locator transmitters, scattered wreckage, SEAL team involvement—exposes President Bartlet to war-crimes prosecution at this international tribunal in The Hague. Leo downplays the risk and opposes U.S. support for such courts, highlighting tensions between national security and global legal accountability.
