@sbsnews_au: United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that the US is sanctioning the International Criminal Court, claiming that the ICC is under pressure from "globalist experts" to prosecute US citizens, service members and elected leaders. "They want more power, and they want it at the expense of our sovereignty as a nation," Rubio said. Rubio went on to say: "We will ban transactions with this rogue court, cutting off their resources and crippling their ability to operate against us. Because our message is clear, the United States and the American people are not subject to the jurisdiction of this fake ICC." The United Nations has condemned the decision. Spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General Stéphane Dujarric said the sanctions were "a collective blow" to the organisation's "collective pursuit of international criminal justice, of which the ICC is a key pillar. UN Human Rights Spokesperson Ravina Shamdasani said the sanctions were "the latest in a series of retaliatory steps against the ICC and its personnel". "They must not be allowed to have a chilling effect on those who are working for or with the Court in pursuit of justice," Shamdasani said. Find updates on this story @sbsnews_au (link in bio).
