THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Dozens of nations have met to pledge their support to the International Criminal Court’s investigation in Ukraine, offering money, technology and expertise to the probe opened soon after Russia’s month-old invasion began. At the meeting of 38 nations in The Hague on Thursday, the court’s chief prosecutor urged them to stand up in support of the global legal order. Britain said it was boosting its support for the ICC probe with cash and specialist staff. France announced it will provide magistrates, investigators and experts and 500,000 euros ($550,000) in extra funding, which may be increased if needed.
