U.S. Representative Chip Roy recently called for sanctions on International Criminal Court (ICC) officials who are pursuing investigations into the United States and Israel. Roy argues that the ICC, by examining alleged war crimes committed by the U.S. and Israeli military forces, is overstepping its boundaries and infringing on national sovereignty. He believes that the best course of action is to impose sanctions on the individuals involved. This will show the ICC and the international community at large the potential consequences of unjustly targeting the U.S. and its allies. This would also act as a deterrent to potential future unwarranted ICC probes. The specifics of the suggested sanctions regime were not detailed in his statement.
