State Department Opens Global Push To Disable The ICC
The campaign relies on travel bans, visa revocations and stepped-up sanctions across a whole-of-government push, per the State Department.
- Rubio, the deputy secretary and ambassadors are personally calling allied governments to urge ICC withdrawal.
- Nations hosting US troops or covered by its security umbrella face direct pressure to comply.
- State Department says every president since the ICC's founding has rejected its claimed jurisdiction over Americans.
Why it matters: International law has always bound only those without the power to refuse it; Washington just said so aloud.
