UPDATE: United States wants to systematically disable and dismantle the International Criminal Court. 美国 Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the International Criminal Court (ICC) is "waging a war" against American sovereignty. The United States has never been a member of the ICC. Although 120 nations adopted the Rome Statute in 1998 to establish the permanent court, Washington never ratified the treaty and therefore never became a member. The America. fundamentally rejects the idea that an un-elected body of international judges and bureaucrats should ever have the authority to arrest, try, or imprison American citizens or soldiers.
