Rubio moves to dismantle International Criminal Court
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has launched a formal US campaign to dismantle the International Criminal Court, claiming the tribunal threatens American sovereignty by exposing US military personnel and officials to international prosecution. The move escalates a long-running US antagonism toward the ICC into an active dismantlement effort, going beyond mere non-participation. Rubio specifically invoked the spectre of US Border Patrol agents being "dragged before an international court" as justification.
