What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Trump administration is reportedly preparing sweeping sanctions against the International Criminal Court as an institution, extending measures already directed at individual court officials. These sanctions would reportedly forbid most transactions with the ICC after a six-to-seven-month grace period. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated the administration would "dismantle the ICC—brick by brick, if necessary".

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

If the ICC were dismantled, there could be dire consequences for the continued detention of individuals charged with or convicted of war crimes and crimes against humanity. Detainees awaiting trial or judgment might have to be released, and those convicted could argue for release due to a lack of an effective appeals process.

Sanctions are being announced regarding ICC engagement while lawsuits are pending in international courts involving the organization.
