UNGA: Trump Calls For All Countries To Quit ICC
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump addressed the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York, demanding that member nations withdraw from the International Criminal Court, which he called a "rogue institution."
- The administration has long criticized the ICC, which prosecutes war crimes worldwide; tensions escalated after the court charged Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant in November 2024, charges Netanyahu denies.
- During his UNGA address, Trump declared the ICC an "evil group of people" that is "out of control," insisting Washington will never allow American personnel to face "show trials" by a tribunal lacking jurisdiction.
- The Iranian delegation walked out of the assembly following the president's remarks, while officials told the Wall Street Journal last week that the United States is preparing fresh sanctions against the court.
- These threats emerge amid a United Nations fact-finding mission report suggesting United States forces committed war crimes in Iran, as Washington maintains it will not submit to the court, joining Israel, Russia, and China in refusing the Rome Statute.
