    Block ICC sanctions!

    Petition to the U.S. Senate:
    We urge you to vote No on the bill leveling sanctions against the International Criminal Court.

    The U.S. Senate will vote TOMORROW on sanctions against the International Criminal Court (ICC) in retaliation for the Court pursuing justice against Benjamin Netanyahu for Israel’s war crimes in Gaza.1

    It’s clear that these sanctions are meant to shield Israel from all accountability related to its siege on Gaza and the murder of more than 46,000 Palestinians. The House has already passed the sanctions bill. Now, our Senators must stand against such unjust, undemocratic sanctions.

    Sign the petition: Urge your Senators to vote NO on ICC sanctions. Don’t let Congress send ICC sanctions to Trump’s desk!

    In November, the ICC issued arrest warrants against Netanyahu and his former defense minister, Yoav Gallant, for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.2

    Our government should not shield potential war criminals from justice and should not punish a body trying to pursue accountability in every corner of the globe.
