‘Illegitimate intl organization’: Rubio determined to dismantle ICC over possible future indictment
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio intensified the Trump administration’s campaign against the International Criminal Court (ICC), calling it an "illegitimate international organization" and saying more countries are likely to leave after five nations announced plans to withdraw. Rubio argued the ICC has no authority over non-member states and vowed the U.S. would continue pushing back against what it views as the court’s overreach. The comments come as Washington ramps up diplomatic pressure on the ICC over investigations involving U.S. personnel and Israeli leaders.
