The ICC has overstepped its bounds by targeting American troops and Israeli leaders without proper jurisdiction. Neither the U.S. nor Israel consented to ICC authority, yet the court continues pursuing politically motivated prosecutions that threaten national sovereignty. These sanctions protect American servicemembers and allies from a rogue tribunal that operates outside legitimate legal frameworks.
Sanctioning international judges undermines the global rule of law and sends a dangerous message about judicial independence. The ICC serves as a crucial pillar of international criminal justice for 125 member states, investigating the gravest crimes when national systems fail. These measures severely impede the court's ability to seek accountability for war crimes victims worldwide.
