Why does the US want to ‘dismantle’ the international criminal court? | Kenneth Roth

The Trump administration, particularly through Secretary of State Marco Rubio, has publicly vowed to dismantle the International Criminal Court (ICC), claiming it threatens US sovereignty. However, critics argue that the real aim is to shield the US from accountability for potential war crimes, especially as the administration's Middle East policies face increasing scrutiny. This move highlights a broader push for impunity, raising concerns about the US's commitment to international justice and its implications for global human rights standards.
