Just to clarify, it is officially called 'American Service-Members' Protection Act' which was supposedly passed as there was a chance George W. Bush could be arrested & tried at ICC for war crimes; media & human rights organizations call it 'Hague invasion act' for what it is.

Imagine the US invading The Hague to rescue Bush Jr. How would this even go? Will this be a D-day like landing on Dutch beaches?

Probably some boring demands and Netherlands will comply because big bad USA and such.

I think that was in 'Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Commission', it's not a U.N. recognised body.
