The United States asks NATO member countries to withdraw from the Rome Statute, according to a report citing NATO diplomats. The request also includes a call to end support for the International Criminal Court (ICC).
The Jerusalem Post reports that three NATO diplomats say the US administration urges member states not only to withdraw from the treaty that established the ICC, but also to “systematically dismantle” their support for the court. NDTV reports that the US NATO mission circulates a document to alliance delegations urging immediate steps to withdraw from the Rome Statute.
Both accounts indicate this is being communicated through NATO channels, but they differ in the emphasis of the language used—NDTV focuses on withdrawal steps, while the Jerusalem Post highlights a broader effort described as dismantling support. The reports do not specify the legal or diplomatic justification provided in the document.
