Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act: U.S. Sanctions Against International Criminal Court for Investigating American and Allied Officials
H.R. 23, the "Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act," is a proposed U.S. law targeting the International Criminal Court (ICC). The act condemns the ICC's arrest warrants for Israeli officials, asserting the ICC lacks jurisdiction over the U.S. and its allies. It authorizes sanctions, including asset freezes and visa bans, against individuals aiding ICC investigations of protected U.S. persons and allies. Furthermore, the bill rescinds and prohibits future funding for the ICC. The act defines "protected persons," "allies," and other key terms to clarify its scope.
