One last thought.

The ICC’s worst nightmare is governments coming in to do code development. But if the ICC is going to use the codes to engage in social policy (6k sqft is “in keeping” with urban infill) or industrial policy (developer profits), then state legs really should take over.

No indictments against Trump yet, but that’s why they are trying to cripple the ICC’s reach

Honestly, if Est Dems are so afraid of the power they've been granted that they don't want to actuality use it directly? I will even give them an easy out and still call it good without personally holding ANYONE responsible.

Sign US onto the Rome accord and then get the fuck out of the ICC's way.

icc's 20 year goal to shrink the game is a pretty ironic twist

There is no time limit for prosecuting crimes within the ICC's jurisdiction.

The Hague is most fitting, because we're not just recognizing the ICC's authority over the US, we're showing the limits of US Presidential pardon capabilities for future cabinet members. Let them explain their actions publicly and shrivel under the weight of accountability.

Israel is not a party to the Rome Statute (having never ratified it and withdrawing its signature) and firmly rejects the ICC’s jurisdiction. The ICC prosecutor who accused Israel has since been removed due to sexual abuse charges. The move by the ICC is political. There is no evidence

Hegseth needs to be tried for war crimes, which are a felony in the US and our prisons are way scarier than the ICC’s. But so does Trump and his pardon power is gonna make both of those tricky. Somebody needs to lie and convince them they’re safe until Jan. 22, 2029 then BAM pop them in an iron box.

The US isn't party to the Rome Statute, and doesn't recognize the ICC's authority over US citizens.
November 5, 2026 at 8:58 PM
The US has supported the ICC's work when it has suited American interests.They supported international accountability for alleged Russian war crimes in Ukraine .Yet it now objects to the principle that the court might exercise jurisdiction over Americans or Israelis under comparable circumstances 🤷‍♂️

It is a good thing that the ICC's Registrar continues to raise public awareness, and uses direct and strong language to explicitly say that states and EU responses are lacklustre and they need to do much, much more to help support the court to directly respond to US sanctions.

The US could drone strike Trump too, no one is arguing against that. His point is that the ICC’s jurisdiction specifically is more questionable.
November 6, 2026 at 3:47 PM
The ICC’s public warrant record does not list Trump. Netanyahu’s warrant was issued Nov. 21, 2024—not Veterans Day—and Rubio/Hegseth need an actual filing, not a forecast.

The ICC's jurisdiction is not restricted to presidents, generals or government officials.

It can prosecute private individuals.

This is how we get accountability;
For the victims.

And more.

The ICC has no real power. Neither the US, nor Russia, North Korea, Israel, etc., recognize the ICC's authority, & the ICC has no way to militarily enforce anything. In 20 years, they've barely convicted anyone--a few African warlords. Look up their convictions (not indictments, convictions).
November 5, 2026 at 3:49 AM
While there are 125 member states, that's only 32% of the world's population. It's not so much that the US is hostile, but rather that the ICC's assertion of international law is not. It's an overreach by the ICC.

Note:
It appears I'm wrong about this and regret having posted my erroneous opinion as fact.
See mollycad's post and my response elaborating on the ICC's actual jurisdictional claims.

🇨🇭 reaffirms its unwavering support for the International Criminal Court as an embodiment of the international law-based order & thanks the President for her report on the ICC’s remarkable work.

We must:
- Protect the Court & remain united in its defense
- Strengthen universality of the #RomeStatute

I’d say he would make an excellent inmate on the icc’s death row for war crimes!!! The pay isn’t great for him, by the vindication of the American that have been forced to pay for his shenanigans…. Priceless!!!!

I know that the US is not a part of the community that recognizes the ICC's authority... but maybe we should be, going forward?

Can we put "join the ICC" on our wishlist for fixing things? Does it take a congressional vote, or how does this happen? They might be able to help us out of this mess...
