Secretary of State Marco Rubio declares that the International Criminal Court has no power over America and their laws have no jurisdiction over anything we do, our military or anyone in America He says we were lied to about its creation and it’s been taken over by globalists who have installed their own people to gain nearly unlimited power and take away our sovereignty “Halfway across the world, there's an institution that calls itself the International Criminal Court. Maybe you've heard of it, maybe you haven't. But chances are you don't know the names of its judges, of its prosecutors, or its president. And you shouldn't have to. But as we speak, the ICC and its friends are waging a war against our country. Not with bullets or missiles. But with statutes and compacts and the force of so-called international law. When the ICC was born 24 years ago, they told us that it was merely a narrow backstop, a global court that would step in to prosecute only the gravest offenses — But the truth is, it was something far more radical and extreme. It was a global tribunal staffed by unelected globalist bureaucrats who claim their power is almost unlimited. The danger of this global court has only continued to grow. Today it threatens every aspect of our political and legal system. Border Patrol agents removing violent criminals from our country, American Marines risking their lives to defend our homeland, prosecutors working to dismantle terrorist plots to attack and kill Americans if we stand idle, all of them would be at the mercy of foreign judges, thousands of miles away, facing the constant risk of prosecution and even imprisonment for the so-called crime of defending their own country. The American people never agreed to any of this, and they never will. Read the words of our Declaration of Independence: We fought a revolution against a foreign power transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses. Independence is our birthright. We will never let foreign bureaucrats take that away from us. This administration will not sit by as the ICC and its allies seek to threaten our people. If they believe they can deprive us of our sovereignty, we will teach them the full meaning of American resolve” Here’s what the ICC and globalists don’t want you to know, the ICC has absolutely ZERO authority over the United States The ICC does not have jurisdiction over the United States or its nationals. The US is not a party to the Rome Statute, the treaty that created the ICC in 2002, never ratified it, and formally withdrew its signature in 2002 The ICC’s jurisdiction is primarily over nationals of member states or crimes committed on the territory of member states. Complementarity principle, it only acts when a country is unwilling or unable to prosecute The US and countries like China, India, Russia, Israel are not members. The US has passed laws like the American Servicemembers’ Protection Act that explicitly rejected ICC authority and authorizing measures to protect US personnel They have ZERO power over anything we do
