The US Campaign to Dismantle the International Criminal Court

This episode discusses the intensified campaign by the United States (US) against the International Criminal Court (ICC). The Trump administration has imposed personal sanctions, of the type normally applied to terrorists, against several judges and officials of the Court. More recently, the Trump Administration has sanctioned the entire institution. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said the aim is to dismantle the ICC “brick by brick”.
Hosts Darryl Robinson (Queen’s University, Canada) and Kalika Mehta (Humboldt University, Berlin) talk to two guests who are affected by this campaign: Judge Kimberly Prost of the International Criminal Court, and Professor Lisa Davis, Senior Associate Dean at CUNY Law School and Special Advisor on Gender Crimes to the ICC Office of the Prosecutor.
