Washington ¨C U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio took aim Friday at what he deemed the ¡°weaponization of international law,¡± calling it a tool of the elite, and issued a stark warning to the International Criminal Court.
Rubio cautioned the ICC against ¡°quoting laws to men with swords,¡± as he accused the Hague-based tribunal of trying to enforce rules that Washington does not recognize.
His remarks to the Federalist Society National Lawyers Convention came around a month after the United States announced new sanctions on the ICC, vowing to cripple its operations.
