What are the implications of Trump's sanctions against ICC? | Inside Story

Video Description

The executive orders are still coming thick and fast. The latest? Sanctions on the International Criminal Court. President Donald Trump says the ICC abuses its power, taking 'illegitimate and baseless' actions against the US and its ally, Israel. He also says its investigators are a threat to national security. So, how will this affect the only court with the ability to prosecute genocide and war crimes? And is the very concept of a rules-based international order under threat?
