US moves to curb ICC power, accusing court of bias against Americans
TL;DR
The Trump administration escalates its campaign against the ICC, accusing the Hague-based court of targeting U.S. servicemembers while ignoring abuses by regimes such as Iran and North Korea; Washington has sanctioned ICC officials and pressed allies to reject the court's authority, arguing the ICC oversteps its mandate since the U.S. is not a Rome Statute member and vowing to dismantle the court through diplomacy.
