US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the Trump administration is working to “dismantle the [International Criminal Court] brick by brick”, throwing down a public gauntlet to the court that issued an arrest warrant in 2024 for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“Using all the tools at our government’s disposal, working beside every ally with whom we can make common cause, we will dismantle the ICC - brick by brick, if necessary,” he said.
I doubt it’ll take that long. Rubio’s pushing on an open door. Nobody in Europe actually wants an ICC that can be used by the Third World as a weapon against the imperial core.
The ICC was dead the moment its leadership started taking Africans, Latin Americans, and East Asians seriously.
I struggle to understand why they’re bothering when they’ve already begun stacking the court w sympathetic judges and ousted Kahn.
