What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "Move the ICC Out of NYC Act of 2025," aims to prevent the International Criminal Court (ICC) from using United Nations facilities located in the United States. Congress finds that the Senate has not ratified the Rome Statute and that the ICC has no jurisdiction within the United States or over United States persons. Currently, the ICC maintains an office within the United Nations headquarters in New York, New York. The Act directs the United States Ambassador to the United Nations to seek a supplemental agreement to the United Nations Headquarters Agreement. This supplement would prohibit the United Nations from hosting, leasing, or allowing the ICC to use its facilities within the United States.
