NEGATIVE Palestine / Israel 119th Congress

H.R.23 ICC Sanctions Bill

Imposes sanctions on International Criminal Court judges investigating Israeli officials for war crimes (119th Congress)

View on Congress.gov

Legal & Constitutional Grounding

Sanctioning ICC judges violates Rome Statute obligations (Art. 86-87) and undermines international criminal accountability.

Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (1998), Art. 86 — States Parties have a general obligation to cooperate fully with the Court in its investigation and prosecution of crimes
  • Rome Statute Art. 87 — Court authority to request State Party cooperation; non-compliance may be referred to Assembly of States Parties or UN Security Council
  • ICC Pre-Trial Chamber I (Nov. 21, 2024) — rejected Israel's challenges to jurisdiction and issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity
  • Rome Statute Art. 1 & 5 — established the ICC to prosecute genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity
