Oppose H.R.8282! Uphold international law, human rights, and accountability!

To: Rep. Tenney, Sen. Gillibrand, Sen. Schumer

From: A verified voter in Seneca Falls, NY

May 8

I urge you to reject H.R. 8282, which seeks to impose sanctions on the International Criminal Court for investigating potential war crimes committed by U.S. personnel or allies. Attempting to shield American citizens and allies from accountability for heinous acts undermines the rule of law and erodes our nation's moral standing. The ICC plays a vital role in holding perpetrators accountable when national courts are unwilling or unable to do so. Exempting the U.S.and its allies from its jurisdiction enables a culture of impunity that betrays our democratic values of justice and human rights. We must allow impartial investigations into credible allegations of war crimes to uphold the international legal order and prevent future atrocities. Respect for the ICC bolsters America's credibility in advocating for human rights globally.
