Rubio ups U.S. fight against ICC, warns military members subject to rogue tribunal
By Kerry Picket - The Washington Times - Friday, July 31, 2026
The U.S. campaign to dismantle the International Criminal Court has gained momentum with five countries moving to quit the tribunal, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Friday.
“We’ve had dozens of countries already join us in this effort since we started two weeks ago,” he said during a Cabinet meeting at the presidential retreat at Camp David in western Maryland.
Since mid-June, Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso, Venezuela and Chad have notified the ICC that they are quitting. It takes a year for a country to complete its withdrawal from the ICC.
Mr. Rubio also warned that American servicemen — not just foreign leaders — face the most direct threat from the ICC’s reach, with soldiers possibly facing indictments decades after fighting in wars.
“The International Criminal Court is an illegitimate international organization,” he said. “They make themselves illegitimate because they claim that even if you’re not a member of that court, they can come after you.”
“The people who are in the biggest danger in our system are servicemen, people in uniform that they’ll try to go out for the rest of their lives will not be able to travel anywhere in the world with their families, because they could be arrested on one of these,” Mr. Rubio said. “Imagine you’re a soldier, you fought in a war, and 20 years later, they try to come grab you.”
The U.S. first attempted to get the ICC to reform from within, but after the court refused, the administration escalated to the current campaign to dismantle it.
Mr. Rubio noted that the Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith, who indicted President Trump after his first term, was a former ICC official.
