US Ambassador Responds to Jetten: ICC Should Keep Hands Off the US
US Ambassador Joseph Popolo responded to Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten’s UN speech by stating that the International Criminal Court (ICC) should keep its hands off the United States, mirroring the US stance. Popolo criticized the ICC as politicized and noted that the US does not recognize the court, a position held by both Democratic and Republican presidents. He referenced the 2002 'Hague Invasion Act' and current sanctions imposed by President Donald Trump, which Jetten argued threaten the ICC. Jetten emphasized the need to protect international legal systems and reject impunity.
