🐿️ The Squirrel's Take
These parallel developments show that no nation or leader is above international law, but enforcement remains uneven and politicized.
💡 Why it matters
The US allegations could strain diplomatic relations and set precedents for accountability of powerful nations, while Thaci's sentence reinforces the long arm of justice for Balkan war crimes.
UN experts found credible grounds that US airstrikes on a school and sports complex in Iran constituted war crimes, while the Hague tribunal sentenced former Kosovo president Hashim Thaci to 25 years for crimes during the 1990s conflict.
