Trump's war on the rule of law continues at the United Nations

President Trump’s speech at the United Nations General Assembly drew laughs, granted, but also raised serious concerns. Previously, Trump attacked the UN Human Rights Council and withdrew. Now, he’s launching a war on the International Criminal Court.

[T]he United States will provide no support and recognition to the International Criminal Court. As far as America is concerned, the ICC has no jurisdiction, no legitimacy, and no authority. The ICC claims near-universal jurisdiction over the citizens of every country, violating all principles of justice, fairness, and due process. 

Trump’s speech was heavy on now-familiar “America first” rhetoric—and scorn.
