The ICC is nothing short of an international sharia court. Not only is the ICC tied to the very anti-Israel United Nations. But the question has to be asked: What international law is the reference point that it uses? Sharia? Palestinian Authority leaders have more than once referred Israel to the International Criminal Court for so-called war crimes. Talk about gall. And now this, which, in light of the way the ICC has acted up to now, is no surprise. Like the UN, the ICC is essentially at this point an instrument of the “Palestinian” jihad. The Trump administration was right to withdraw from it.
“ICC elects Palestinian official to advisory committee for selecting judges,” by Victor Cabrera, Media Line, December 19, 2018 (thanks to Mark):
The International Criminal Court (ICC) has elected Palestinian official Ahmad Mohammad Barak bin Hamad to an advisory committee for selecting judges. The move comes on the backdrop of an announcement earlier this month by ICC prosecutor Fatou Bensouda that she is nearing a decision on whether to launch a formal probe into alleged war crimes by the Israel Defense Forces as well as Hamas which rules the Gaza Strip.
Story continues below advertisementBin Hamad’s election is being construed as an example of growing acceptance of the Palestinian Authority as a legitimate actor within world bodies, a trend that is vehemently opposed by Israel and the United States.
“The prosecutor accepted Palestine’s inclusion [into the ICC] on the basis of the [2012 United Nations General Assembly] resolution giving the PA the status of non-member observer state,” Robbie Sabel, Professor of International Law at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, explained to The Media Line. “The UNGA has no [legal] authority to recognize entities as full states so they were very careful to just give the Palestinians that designation.
“Israel disputes this,” he elaborated, “on the grounds that the territory of Palestine is not clearly defined or entirely recognized by the international community. The ICC prosecutor nevertheless allowed Palestine to accede to the Rome Statute,” the treaty that established the tribunal at The Hague in the Netherlands and to which Israel, in turn, is not a party.
“The appointment [of bin Hamad] will increase the Palestinians’ status within the organization as members wishing to sway the nomination of judges will see that it’s worthwhile to get the attention of the official from Palestine,” Prof. Sabel asserted.
“Palestine is a responsible international actor that has taken seriously its membership in the organizations and treaties onto which it has signed,” Dr. Saeb Erekat, Secretary General of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), contended to The Media Line….

No, just go our own way and if like-minded nations want to join us, then great. Keep in mind that many Europeans share a common worldview not so different from Muslims that is strongly anti-American.

The ICC allowed Muhammadist mass-murderer & slaver of Africans Omar Al-Bashir who occupies North-Sudan to go unpunished.
The PLO portrays itself as responsible body while inside there are atheists imprisoned, tortured & killed & murderers of Jews rewarded with EU, US & UN-money. The PLO has nothing to offer but injustice, Muhammad-glorification, clitodirectomy & forced theism.
We need to start norming ethical values & sort out all institutions including social media firms that support the unjust Muhammad-law & are not elements of a global ethical system that upholds the ethical values of justice, truth, love, friendliness, ecology, English, health [see DrAxe.com], cultivation of ecological best quality basics, support for self-realization & freedom from religion.

Glad Trump got us out of that too.
We are a sovereign nation and have no need to be part of an International Criminal Court
Globalists lose again!

The problem is that we continue to fund all of these anti-American entities in roundabout and indirect ways. No matter how we may designate funds, any money we pay the U.N. manages to end up ultimately going wherever the U.N. wants it to go. This is why we must 100% stop ALL money, direct and indirect to the U.N. and even its loosely-affiliated organizations.

Trump didn’t “get us out of” the ICC. The USA never joined the ICC in the first place. But I’m glad he’s not pushing to have us join.
