Marco Rubio, the United States Secretary of State, announced on Monday a campaign to dismantle the International Criminal Court (ICC), saying the tribunal interferes with US military and law enforcement operations and threatens American sovereignty. In an op‑ed published in the Wall Street Journal, Rubio described hypothetical scenarios in which US border patrol agents and elected officials could be taken before the ICC by judges from various countries, arguing that such jurisdiction could undermine US legal authority. He noted that the ICC’s activities risk impeding US operations, though no specific incidents were cited. Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had previously voiced similar concerns about the court’s impact on US sovereignty. The ICC’s spokesperson declined to comment on Rubio’s remarks. No legislation to dismantle the ICC has been introduced in Congress, and the United States has not moved to withdraw from the Rome Statute that established the court.
