This legislation seeks to prohibit the International Criminal Court (ICC) from utilizing United Nations facilities located within the United States. It highlights that while the U.S. ratified the U.N. Charter and authorized its headquarters in New York, the Senate has not ratified the Rome Statute , meaning the ICC has no jurisdiction over the U.S. or its citizens. The bill mandates the U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. to initiate negotiations for a supplemental agreement to the existing U.N. Headquarters Agreement. This amendment would specifically prevent the U.N. from hosting, leasing, or otherwise allowing the ICC to use any of its facilities within the United States, effectively aiming to remove the ICC's presence from U.S. soil.
