Indonesia calls intl laws to be respected as US seeks to dismantle ICC

Indonesia has expressed strong support for the International Criminal Court (ICC), emphasizing the importance of respecting international law and institutions. The country's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Yvonne Mewengkang, stated that Indonesia encourages all nations to uphold international legal principles and maintain peaceful dispute resolution. She noted that Indonesia does not fall under the ICC's jurisdiction as it is not a signatory to the Rome Statute. Meanwhile, the United States has launched a campaign to challenge the ICC's authority, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio announcing potential measures such as urging member states to withdraw from the court and imposing sanctions. The U.S. has criticized past ICC investigations targeting U.S. military personnel and Israeli leaders. Several countries, including France, Japan, and the Netherlands, have voiced concerns over U.S. actions and reaffirmed their support for the ICC.
