International leaders have warned that attempts to isolate the International Criminal Court threaten the very fabric of global justice.

As the conversation heats up, policymakers must weigh the ICC’s role in maintaining international accountability against concerns about its perceived overreach.
Efforts to isolate the International Criminal Court aim to undermine the global rule of law, leaders say.
