The ICC never indicted Fidel Castro

Thumbs up to Secretary Rubio for going after the International Criminal Court (ICC). The ICC has specialized in calling out our friends, such as the PM of Israel, and giving a pass to our enemies, like the late Fidel Castro. Between the two, who do you think engaged in more human rights violations? Who locked up more political opponents? What country has an active free press: Cuba or Israel?

Secretary Rubio is on target with this:

Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Monday issued a new broadside in the U.S. fight with the International Criminal Court (ICC), announcing a diplomatic effort by the Trump administration to dismantle the global tribunal.

Rubio issued the action call in an opinion article in The Wall Street Journal and a video message shared on social media.

His announcement comes after three of the court’s judges filed a lawsuit in New York last month against the Trump administration. The lawsuit argues sanctions levied against them are unlawful.

‘The U.S. is launching a diplomatic campaign with a simple message — sovereign states over globalism,’ Rubio wrote in his op-ed.

‘Using all the tools at our government’s disposal, working beside every ally with whom we can make common cause, we will dismantle the ICC — brick by brick, if necessary.’

A State Department official told Reuters the diplomatic tools include travel bans, visa revocations, increased sanctions against the ICC and affiliated organizations, and diplomatic pressure on other nations to withdraw from the ICC.

The ICC was established in 2002 to prosecute genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. There are 125 countries that have signed and ratified the Rome Statute, the agreement that established the court.

The ICC seems to be a tool of the left. The world would be better off without it.

I wonder why they filed in New York? Not that the proper venue DC would be any better and probably worse.

Rubio can smell the evil stench of totalitarians - he knows what they are - and knows we have to take them down. Thank you Marco.

The ICC could indict Fauci in an attempt to redeem themselves.

There is a reason that the International Communist Court did not indict Castro.

There is so much wrong right there. I can see why the Administration wants to dismantle the whole globalist, farcical thing.
