Congressman Crow Opposes House Republicans’ Dangerous Bill to Sanction the ICC

Hearing

“The world is an increasingly dangerous and volatile place - America needs friends and allies now more than ever.

The bill before us, the Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act, will do significant damage to our national security, to American leadership in the world, and prohibit a more measured method of addressing the issue.

In short, it is bad for America.

I come before you today a combat veteran, supporter of the American Servicemembers Protection Act, a longtime supporter of Israel's security, and someone with concerns about the ICC’s approach to this case.

I also come before you today as someone who believes that America is best when we lead with our values, uphold rules based-institutions, and differentiate ourselves from our adversaries.

And it’s for these reasons that I vehemently oppose this bill.”
