America to Canada: “If you help the International Criminal Court, we’re going to crush your economy.”
To Sean Hannity on Fox News: “If you are going to help the ICC as a nation and force [sic] the arrest warrant against Bibi and Gallant, the former defence minister, I will put sanctions on you as a nation. You’re going to have to pick the rogue ICC versus America. I’m working with [Senator] Tom Cotton to have legislation passed as soon as we can to sanction any country that aids and abets the arrest of any politician in Israel. So, to any ally, Canada, Britain, Germany, France, if you try to help the ICC, we’re going to sanction you,” Graham said.
Hannity quips, “every ally” then, “And you saw little Justin in Canada and his position. What should the penalty be?”
Graham responded: “If you help the ICC, we’re going to crush your economy.”
Hannity concluded: “Friends and allies, you better beware because this has to happen.”
Watch attempted witness interference in the form of intimidation, corruption and threats.
The United States has threatened the safety of persons and family of persons of the International Criminal Court. Additionally the USA has imposed visa bans on International Criminal Court (ICC) personnel. In return the U.S. Biden government has been advised by the ICC prosecutor Karim Ahmad Khan that he will act within the Rome Statute and prosecute offenders under Article 70.
Article 70 of the Rome Statute criminalizes behaviour that seriously undermines ICC proceedings, including witness interference in the form of intimidation, corruption and threats. These crimes fall under the broad umbrella of acts that threaten the integrity of the Court, also referred to as ‘contempt of court’.
“We condemn threats by U.S. Republican lawmakers of retaliation and sanctions against the International Criminal Court, its prosecutor, Karim Khan, his associates, and their families over the decision to seek arrest warrants for senior Israeli officials accused of war crimes in Gaza,” said International Service for Human Rights executive director Phil Lynch.
