The International Criminal Court is an intergovernmental tribunal seated in The Hague that prosecutes individuals for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. Known for issuing high-profile arrest warrants, including against sitting heads of state, and operating independently of the UN Security Council. Recently, the ICC has faced U.S. sanctions, membership withdrawals, and the removal of its chief prosecutor amid misconduct allegations, while continuing to pursue warrants against Israeli officials.

"Even if sanctions were imposed on the ICC itself, we would not give up. Our determination is firm. The permanent institution that is the ICC must not be allowed to collapse. We must not allow it to be destroyed, and we ourselves will resist that with everything we have."
We are killing terrorists, and we’re defeating the failed and toxic ideologies of radical socialism and communism.
The international left, along with their enabling left-wing media, is plotting to unlawfully assert ICC jurisdiction over U.S. and partner military personnel and operations.
It’s striking that this so-called court and other globalist bodies undermine our efforts but do nothing to hold real terrorists and real tyrants accountable.
U.S. Secretary of War welcomed Colombia joining the Latin American military coalition against drugs, urging coalition members to withdraw from the International Criminal Court.

Sec Rubio: The International Criminal Court is an illegitimate international organization. They've made themselves illegitimate because they claim that even if you're not a member of that court, they can come after you. What that literally means in the future is that American service members, political leaders and others could find themselves under indictment by this International Criminal Court. To know a little bit about it, Jack Smith used to work there. We've now begun an effort to really try to bring that court to heel.

U.S. Department of State:
"The U.S. welcomes the decision by interim President Delcy Rodriguez and Venezuela to withdraw from the ICC and the new Venezuelan government's partnership on American-led efforts to dismantle the corrupt and worthless ICC.
The so-called court has been "investigating" Nicolas Maduro since 2018 with no result. The ICC has instead wasted its resources on investigating and charging persons from countries that have competent, independent judicial systems and which never submitted to the jurisdiction of the court. This is blatant overreach, political bias and selective enforcement. The ICC is neither credible, independent, nor legitimate.
Thanks to President Trump's leadership and the efforts of brave American service members, Maduro is now facing justice in U.S. court for crimes he has committed.
It is time to dismantle the ICC.
The U.S. calls on all members of the ICC to withdraw from the Rome Statute."
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, on Mamdani's call for the U.S. to join the ICC: "There are lunatics there. We won't be part of it. It has no authority over the United States."
The ICC is a kangaroo court with no jurisdiction over Americans or Israelis. Its bogus warrant against Netanyahu came from disgraced former prosecutor Karim Khan, days before sexual misconduct allegations against him surfaced.
Instead of backing Khan, Mamdani should focus on the damage his policies have caused New York.
‘Washington is threatening member states of the International Criminal Court with sanctions, visa cancellations, and political pressure to halt their cooperation with the Court, in an effort to erect a fence around the regime's officials and military personnel of America and Israel; this is blatant extortion and intimidation to smother justice before it reaches the American-Zionist defendants.’
The International Criminal Court seeks to become the unaccountable arbiter of a new global law, empowered to prosecute and arrest our citizens at will and existentially threaten American sovereignty.
We will teach the ICC the full meaning of American resolve.
The UK Solicitors Regulation Authority has announced the temporary suspension of Karim Khan, the ICC's chief prosecutor who is already suspended from his Hague post, as the sexual assault investigation against him continues.
