Uphold accountability, respect rule of law for human rights

The International Criminal Court has a critical role in upholding accountability and addressing atrocities under international law. Attempts to undermine its work or influence its officials are deeply concerning and risk enabling further violations of human rights and humanitarian law. The situation in Gaza has caused immense civilian suffering, and all parties should comply with their legal obligations. Respect for the rule of law and human rights must be upheld without exception, even for close allies. The ICC prosecutor is acting within the court's mandate after a thorough investigation. Threatening retaliation against court officials goes against principles of justice and harms America's credibility on human rights. Netanyahu is a warcriminal who absolutely deserves to be arrested.
