The Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act (H.R. 8282) is a legislative measure introduced in the 118th United States Congress by Representative Charles Eugene 'Chip' Roy on 2024-05-07. It aims to impose strict sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC) and its officials if they attempt to investigate, detain, or prosecute individuals protected by the United States or its allies, specifically in response to ICC actions against Israeli leadership, including the Prosecutor's request for arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant alongside Hamas leaders. The bill passed the House of Representatives on 2024-06-04 with a bipartisan vote of 247-155. Key provisions include: mandating the President to impose property and visa sanctions on ICC officials and their immediate family members, such as freezing U.S.-based assets and revoking entry visas; prohibiting U.S. government support for ICC investigations into 'protected persons' (U.S. citizens, military personnel, and citizens of allied countries that do not recognize ICC jurisdiction); and triggering sanctions if the ICC actively pursues or assists in the prosecution of protected persons. The legislation has been supported by the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) but faces controversy, with opponents including human rights NGOs alleging it undermines the international legal order and judicial independence, and the Biden-Harris administration expressing opposition due to potential impacts on U.S. diplomatic flexibility and relations with European ICC member allies.
