Trump urges ICC members to withdraw in UN speech

news.yahoo.co.jp (Japanese)

President Trump, in a UN General Assembly speech, denounced the International Criminal Court (ICC) as an "anti-American tribunal" that unfairly targets the US and called on all member states to withdraw from it. The remarks were delivered during his address to the UN General Assembly, where he framed the ICC as a body that unjustly singles out the United States. His call for a mass withdrawal represents a significant escalation of US opposition to the court. The ICC is an international body established to prosecute war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. The US has long had a contentious relationship with the court, and this latest statement reinforces that stance on a global stage.
