One of the modern time’s greatest mystery is that the defender of human rights and leader of the “Free World” does not recognise the International Criminal Court (ICC) and now wants to destroy it altogether! When US Secretary of State Marco Rubio (pictured) pledged to “dismantle” the ICC, he did more than just declare war on an international institution.
He signalled a retreat from the very ideals of accountability that the United States has often championed when they serve its interests. If successful, this campaign would condemn the international community to a mediocre world where justice depends on brute force rather than principle.
