America Is Betting Against International Law

In 2023, US President Joe Biden directed US intelligence agencies to provide evidence of Russian war crimes to the International Criminal Court (ICC), aiming to indict Russian President Vladimir Putin. This move represented a departure from previous US policy, which had opposed the ICC's jurisdiction over non-member states like Russia and the US. The article suggests that while this action initially supported international legal efforts, the US has since adopted a more adversarial stance toward the ICC, particularly in relation to issues involving Israel. This shift is seen as potentially ceding influence over international law to other nations.

Bias read (Progressive): The article frames the US actions as shifting from cooperation with international law to opposition, specifically highlighting support for Israel as a motive. It implies criticism of the US approach by suggesting it undermines international legal processes and transfers authority to other countries,
