The Trump administration declared a new policy targeting the International Criminal Court (ICC). Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated the United States intends to dismantle the court. He said the
effort would proceed "brick by brick, if necessary." The ICC is the global body that prosecutes war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity. The United States has long opposed the court’s

could undermine international justice mechanisms. The announcement comes amid broader tensions between Washington and multilateral institutions. Observers will watch for any legislative or executive actions that follow.
