The International Criminal Court exists because far too often, countries are unable or unwilling to punish authorities responsible for terrible crimes like massacres, torture and forced disappearance. This ideologically-driven attack on the ICC is a gift to perpetrators while robbing victims – like the people of Sudan – of their hopes for justice.

The United States should assert its global leadership in promoting the rule of law and collaborate and cooperate with the ICC, not attempt to subvert it. The Administration’s policy should be reversed. Rep. Jim McGovern, Congressman (United States) & PGA Member
