A potentially significant signal from Tokyo in response to Rubio’s campaign to “dismantle” the ICC: the Foreign Ministry’s FY2027 budget request increases Japan’s assessed ICC contribution and retains a voluntary-contribution line. #ICC #Japan www.mofa.go.jp/mofaj/files/...

I was quoted on the front page of today’s Sankei Shimbun discussing a recent @justsecurity.org article co-authored with Mietek Boduszyński, and why Japan is a key linchpin in Secretary Rubio’s campaign to “dismantle” the ICC.

1/ New piece with Mietek Boduszyński: Tokyo may hope the Akane sanctions quietly fade from view. But Japan is the ICC’s largest financial contributor, and Rubio is campaigning to dismantle the Court. www.justsecurity.org/154571/us-di...

The latest effort in the U.S. campaign to "dismantle" the International Criminal Court includes sanctions against ICC President Tomoko Akane, a Japanese judge. Mietek Pawel Boduszynski and @clamont.bsky.social on what Japan's response will mean for the Court's future and Tokyo's U.S. ties:
