## Resource

The Trump administration is pushing hard to cripple the International Criminal Court, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio calling it an “intolerable threat” to U.S. sovereignty. Plans include pressuring allies, imposing travel bans, and ramping up sanctions — but critics argue this undermines international law, since the ICC prosecutes universal crimes like genocide and war crimes that no nation should be above. Though the U.S. helped create the ICC and signed its founding treaty, it never ratified it — mainly to protect its own troops. While the U.S. can’t dismantle the court outright, it’s already using sanctions and diplomatic pressure to block its operations, raising alarms that powerful nations are eroding global legal accountability when it suits them.
