The United States has issued more sanctions against the International Criminal Court (ICC), sparking condemnation from the United Nations and the European Union. This marks the latest pressure from Washington following the ICC's issuance of a warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding alleged war crimes in Gaza, raising critical questions about the future of the court.
In this discussion hosted by presenter James Bays, expert guests analyze the situation: human rights lawyer Geoffrey Nice, who worked on ICC cases; Greg Swenson, Chairman of Republicans Overseas UK; and Kenneth Roth, visiting professor at Princeton University and former executive director of Human Rights Watch.
