Marco Rubio’s well-received speech at the legal conference previously addressed by presidential hopefuls could fuel speculation about his political ambitions. (AFP pic)WASHINGTON: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio took aim Friday at what he deemed the "weaponization of international law," calling it a tool of the elite, and issued a stark warning to the International Criminal Court.
Rubio cautioned the ICC against "quoting laws to men with swords," as he accused the Hague-based tribunal of trying to enforce rules that Washington does not recognise.
His remarks to the Federalist Society National Lawyers Convention came around a month after the US announced new sanctions on the ICC, vowing to cripple its operations.
