Rubio targets ICC: 'Won't submit to sterile vision of radical judges':

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has attacked the International Criminal Court (ICC) in a speech to a conservative legal group on Friday, arguing for a muscular foreign policy and against international law restraining US actions. During his speech to the Federalist Society in Washington, his first prepared remarks since Republicans were routed in the midterm elections on 3 November, Rubio said the goal of the US-Israeli war against Iran was to prevent Tehran from ever developing a nuclear weapon, which he said was particularly urgent because the Islamic Republic's "radical Shia clerics" had an "expansionist mentality."
