The United States announces a new campaign targeting the International Criminal Court (ICC), saying the Hague-based tribunal poses “an intolerable threat” to American sovereignty. In remarks released by the State Department, Secretary of State Marco Rubio argues that the ICC, alongside supporters, is conducting a campaign against the United States “not with bullets or missiles,” but through statutes and what the US describes as international law. The State Department says the response will involve a “whole-of-government” approach aimed at limiting what it calls the ICC’s ability to pursue cases involving American servicemen or officials. Both sources report that the US warns it could use measures such as sanctions as part of the campaign, framing the action as a effort to “dismantle” the alleged threat. The announcements do not describe changes to the ICC’s legal authority itself, but focus on US steps to reduce exposure to ICC proceedings. The US position reflects continued friction between Washington and the ICC over accountability mechanisms and jurisdiction affecting US personnel.
