Rubio criticizes ICC at Federalist Society conference

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered remarks criticizing the International Criminal Court on Friday, November 13, at the Federalist Society’s annual lawyers’ conference in Washington. Asharq News reported his objection to the court’s authority over the United States and his criticism of international law; these are Rubio’s arguments, not established findings about the court or international law. The address came about a month after Washington announced new sanctions against the ICC and pledged to stop its work. The United States signed but never ratified the Rome Statute. The court prosecutes individuals accused of genocide and crimes against humanity and serves as a last resort when national systems cannot ensure accountability.
