Just a few weeks after the creation of the ICC, the US Congress passed what is officially known as American Service-Members’ Protection Act. While aiming to protect serving military and political appointees, the Act gives the president wide ranges of powers to achieve that goal. It authorises him to use any means available to “release” any detained or imprisoned person “by, on behalf of, or at the request” of the ICC.
Clause b. of section 2008 of the Act defines what is called “covered persons” to include all US citizens acting for the US government and any individuals acting for any allied government, like NATO member states, for example. However, section 2013 of the Act widens that definition to include what the Act calls a “major non-NATO ally” naming, as examples, Australia, Egypt, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Argentina, the Republic of Korea and New Zealand. All military personnel and government officials from these countries are eligible for US help against the ICC, upon request. They lose such assistance once their own countries join the Court.
b) When the US vetoed resolutions in the UN and supplied Israel with genocide material.
