U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced a campaign to dismantle the International Criminal Court (ICC), accusing it of unfairly targeting the United States and its allies.
The Trump administration is urging other countries to reject the ICC’s authority and warning that nations refusing to cooperate could face increased scrutiny and possible penalties.
The effort includes potential sanctions, travel restrictions, and diplomatic pressure aimed at isolating the court.
Rubio criticized the ICC’s investigations involving the U.S. and Israel, while defending American actions that critics have questioned under international law, CNN has reported.
The ICC and human rights groups argue that the campaign threatens global accountability and the international legal system.
