Appears to me, he is trying to protect Americans overseas...make other countries have to follow the ICJ and allow Americans to talk to US reps before being railroaded through their foreign court systems...on the surface appears bad, but the big picture may be something else. Just my opinion and NO I don’t care for the ICJ!
Then again he may be forcing the issue of rights with the US courts....
Not a battle worth stiring up without a darn good reason...
Don't kid yourself. If I go to England and break their laws, I expect to be tried by British law, not American.

To me the reason is obvious.
“on the surface appears bad, but the big picture may be something else.”
If an American goes to a foreign country they do so at their own risk and agree to obey their laws and be subject to such laws. If an American decides to go to a bannana republic then they accept all responsibility if they are kangaroo’d. We should not project American justice into any other country least they expect to do the same.
