Summary of Bill HR 1839

Bill 119 hr 1839, also known as the "American Servicemembers Protection Act," aims to prevent the use of United Nations facilities located in the United States by the International Criminal Court (ICC). The ICC is an international tribunal that investigates and prosecutes individuals for war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity.

The bill prohibits the United States from providing support or assistance to the ICC, including the use of military force, intelligence sharing, and funding. It also prohibits the transfer of individuals in US custody to the ICC for prosecution.

Supporters of the bill argue that the ICC infringes on US sovereignty and undermines the US legal system. They believe that US servicemembers and officials should not be subject to the jurisdiction of an international court. Opponents of the bill argue that the ICC plays a crucial role in holding individuals accountable for serious crimes and that the US should support international efforts to promote justice and human rights. Overall, Bill 119 hr 1839 is a controversial piece of legislation that raises important questions about the relationship between the United States and international institutions like the ICC.
