actually, one thing to tack onto this: ICC membership is a voluntary commitment to applying a set of laws to your own sovereign soil. the US is of course not a member of the ICC and therefore never committed to applying the laws of the Rome statute. the ICC has no jurisdiction in and over America because of that, but Americans on sovereign soil of ICC member states are, because the laws of the sovereign state on whose territory they are apply to them. what Rubio says here is that they refuse other nations to apply their own laws (the ICC laws they agreed to) to Americans abroad. the US is formally establishing extraterritorial rights of their citizens and military. it is formally un-recognizing the sovereignty of other sovereign states. everywhere is america and america is everywhere
