Rubio Launches Campaign To Dismantle International Criminal Court. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has launched a campaign to dismantle the International Criminal Court (ICC), accusing it of threatening American sovereignty. Rubio claimed the ICC could target U.S. military personnel, border agents and elected officials, warning they could face prosecution by foreign judges. The State Department plans to pressure other countries to reject the ICC, with reports suggesting sanctions, visa bans and travel restrictions could be used. International legal experts rejected Rubio's claims, arguing the ICC does not have jurisdiction over crimes committed on U.S. soil. Former Human Rights Watch chief Kenneth Roth accused Rubio of seeking immunity for alleged U.S. war crimes rather than defending national sovereignty. The ICC is investigating alleged war crimes in Palestine and has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant. President Donald Trump previously imposed sanctions on ICC officials, including Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan, over investigations involving Israel and U.S. personnel. Analysts say Rubio's latest move could further escalate U.S. efforts to isolate the ICC and discourage international cooperation with the court.
