Trump administration launches effort to isolate International Criminal Court

Rubio vowed to 'systematically disable' the International Criminal Court's ability to operate and to issue travel bans, increased sanctions and visa revocations for ICC personnel and affiliated organizations, urging other countries to join them

The United States on Monday announced a campaign against the Hague-based International Criminal Court (ICC), accusing the tribunal of posing “an intolerable threat to US sovereignty” and threatening sanctions.

Rubio issued the action call in an opinion article with the Wall Street Journal and a video message shared on social media.

The ICC was established in 2002 by the international community to prosecute war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity.
