Rubio criticizes ICC at lawyers’ conference.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered critical remarks about the International Criminal Court on Friday at the Federalist Society’s annual lawyers’ conference, amid continuing US pressure on the court. Arab News had reported that Rubio planned to warn the ICC against enforcing rules Washington does not recognize. That is Rubio’s characterization, not an established finding about the court or international law. Asharq Al-Awsat reported that the United States announced new sanctions against the court about a month earlier and had pledged to halt its work. The United States signed but never ratified the Rome Statute.
