That’s a whacking broad judgement of what victims in #Afghanistan want. They were given 6 weeks to share their views and submitted 1.17 millions claims to the #ICC. Now after 1.5 years, judges tell them that an investigation would be “far from honouring the victims’ wishes”… https://t.co/IFpPvzOoLF
