Recently, the U.S. government has been reported to issue a warning to the International Criminal Court (ICC), urging it not to investigate former President Donald Trump. This move has reignited global scrutiny over the relationship between the United States and international judicial bodies. According to reports, Washington justified its stance by citing ‘sovereignty protection’ and the risk of ‘politicized misuse,’ arguing that the ICC lacks legal authority to exercise jurisdiction over citizens of non-member states like the U.S. Indeed, the United States is not a party to the Rome Statute, which established the ICC, and has long rejected the court’s jurisdiction over its nationals.The ICC has previously indicated it is reviewing allegations that U.S. military personnel committed war crimes and crimes against humanity during the Afghanistan conflict—actions potentially linked to policies under the Trump administration. Although the ICC Prosecutor’s Office has not yet formally opened an investigation into Trump personally, the U.S. has already applied diplomatic pressure, signaling deep concern over potential legal consequences.Analysts note that this reflects America’s longstanding approach of ‘selective multilateralism’—supporting international institutions when convenient but resisting them when accountability looms. Human rights organizations have criticized the U.S. for attempting to place itself above international law, thereby undermining global judicial integrity. Meanwhile, the ICC reaffirmed its independence and commitment to acting strictly within its legal mandate, stating it will not abandon its duties due to political pressure.
近日，美国政府被曝向国际刑事法院（ICC）发出警告，要求其不要对前总统唐纳德·特朗普展开调查。这一举动再次引发国际社会对美国与国际司法机构关系的关注。据报道，美方以‘保护主权’和‘防止政治化滥用’为由，强调ICC对非缔约国公民（如美国）行使管辖权缺乏合法性。美国并非《罗马规约》缔约国，因此长期拒绝承认ICC对其国民的司法管辖权。国际刑事法院此前曾表示，正在审查有关美军在阿富汗战争期间涉嫌战争罪和反人类罪的指控，其中包括特朗普政府时期的相关行为。尽管ICC检察官办公室尚未正式对特朗普本人启动调查，但美方已提前施压，显示出对潜在法律后果的高度警惕。分析人士指出，美国此举反映出其一贯的‘选择性多边主义’立场——即在符合自身利益时支持国际机制，一旦可能面临追责则予以抵制。此举也引发人权组织批评，认为美国试图凌驾于国际法之上，削弱全球司法公正。与此同时，ICC方面强调其独立性和依法行事原则，表示不会因政治压力而放弃职责。
