WASHINGTON – Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) introduced a resolution calling on the United States to become a full member of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and revoke sanctions and visa bans on ICC officials.
The Congresswoman’s resolution comes days after U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced his intention to dismantle the ICC, an independent, credible tribunal built to prosecute the worst crimes known to man. This move would be antithetical not only to American values, but to global stability and international law.
WASHINGTON – Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) released the following statement in response to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio's announcement on his intent to dismantle the International Criminal Court:
“Secretary Rubio’s announcement that he will dismantle the International Criminal Court is reckless and dangerous. It undermines the rule of law, weakens global accountability, and turns America's back on the values we claim to champion.
WASHINGTON–Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) introduced nine amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The amendments aim to center human rights in the military and foreign policy; strengthen congressional oversight over the DoD’s use of artificial intelligence; support Sudanese civil society; and hold governments engaged in transnational repression accountable.
The amendments introduced by Rep. Omar include:
Omar #1151 – Bans arms sales to any country engaged in transnational repression against U.S. citizens.
Omar #1152 – Repeals the Alien Enemies Act.
