America's Aggressive Stance on International Justice The United States has long championed individual freedoms and democracy, yet its recent campaign against the International Criminal Court (ICC) raises questions about its commitment to upholding international law.
The administration's rhetoric portrays the ICC as an "intolerable threat" to American sovereignty, despite the court's role in promoting accountability for war crimes and human rights abuses.
The State Department asserts that the ICC is waging a "war against our country" with statutes and compacts, mischaracterizing the court's purpose.
