What happened
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio
Marco Rubio72nd United States Secretary of State since 2025 said Monday the Trump administration would launch a campaign to “dismantle” the International Criminal Court and urged other governments to join it. In a Wall Street Journal opinion piece, Rubio called the ICC an “unaccountable arbiter of a new global law” and said it claims authority to prosecute U.S. officials and service members. Rubio argued the court threatens American sovereignty by interfering with U.S. military and law-enforcement operations. The Hague-based ICC investigates and prosecutes individuals accused of war crimes and other serious international crimes.
