The ICC’s current and former leaders warn that attempts to isolate the court are aimed at eroding the international legal order, defending the ICC as a last-resort arbiter for genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes while respecting state sovereignty.

Hundreds of veteran journalists and eight press-freedom groups are urging the White House Correspondents’ Association to publicly defend the press and confront President Trump at the rescheduled WHCA dinner, citing intensified government actions against reporters since the April event. The coalition points to subpoenas for New York Times reporters, threats to revoke broadcast licenses, and other measures by the Justice Department and FCC as evidence of an eroding First Amendment landscape, while noting the event will proceed with enhanced security and a smaller guest list as Trump attends at the Waldorf Astoria.
