..............."As ICC judges, these four individuals have actively engaged in the ICC's illegitimate and baseless actions targeting America or our close ally, Israel," Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement. "The ICC is politicized and falsely claims unfettered discretion to investigate, charge, and prosecute nationals of the United States and our allies." ................

.............Neither the U.S. nor Israel is party to the Rome Statute that established the ICC.



............The move is likely to be welcomed by Russian President Vladimir Putin — in March 2023, the court also issued an arrest warrant for him.
