"Globalist Bureaucrats": Washington Aims to Dismantle International Criminal Court

The United States is launching a full-scale offensive to dismantle the International Criminal Court (ICC), which it accuses of acting against American interests. Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced the U.S. intention to "dismantle brick by brick if necessary" the tribunal responsible for prosecuting war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity.

In a video and a Wall Street Journal op-ed, Blinken asserted that the ICC is "waging a war against our country, not with bullets or missiles but through statutes, treaties, and the force of so-called international law." He characterized the court, populated by "globalist bureaucrats," as a threat to U.S. sovereignty.

The State Department stated that the ICC's ambition to become a "global arbiter free from any oversight" could lead to investigations into American military personnel and officials for their involvement in foreign wars. Such actions, the department warned, "would mean the death of the United States."
