On February 6, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump authorized economic and travel sanctions against individuals involved in International Criminal Court (ICC) investigations targeting U.S. citizens or allies like Israel, a move echoing actions from his first term. This decision coincided with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to Washington, with Netanyahu, his former defense minister, and Hamas leaders facing ICC arrest warrants for alleged war crimes in Gaza. The ICC, established in 2002, prosecutes genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and crimes of aggression.

There have been cases of non-compliance, such as Sudan's Omar al-Bashir, and Russia's 2016 withdrawal from the Rome Statute.
