US Embassy amplifies Marco Rubio’s warning to ‘systematically dismantle’ ICC threat to sovereignty

The US Embassy in Tbilisi has amplified a warning from Secretary of State Marco Rubio that Washington will counter any threat to national sovereignty posed by the International Criminal Court (ICC).

Circulating the Secretary of State’s message on social media, the embassy underscored that Washington is actively building an international coalition to oppose the court’s overreach.

“Proud to amplify Secretary Rubio’s resolute message: the U.S. will systematically dismantle the threat the ICC poses to our national sovereignty. We are building a coalition of partners around the globe to end this sham,” the US Embassy posted.

The embassy’s post shared Secretary Rubio’s 13 July address, in which the US foreign policy chief strongly criticised the tribunal’s jurisdictional ambitions.

“The International Criminal Court seeks to become the unaccountable arbiter of a new global law — empowered to prosecute and arrest our citizens at will and existentially threaten American sovereignty. We will teach the ICC the full meaning of American resolve,” Rubio stated.
