Move the ICC Out of NYC Act of 2025

# Move the ICC Out of NYC Act of 2025 – Summary **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would require the International Criminal Court (ICC) to relocate its headquarters from New York City to another location outside the United States. Currently, the ICC maintains an office in New York, though its primary headquarters is located in The Hague, Netherlands. If passed, the bill would effectively end the ICC's operational presence in the U.S. **Who It Affects and Key Details** The bill would impact the ICC's ability to operate within U.S. territory and would affect staff, operations, and any diplomatic functions conducted from the NYC location.

It could also influence U.S.-ICC relations more broadly. The bill is sponsored by Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) and reflects concerns some lawmakers have about international organizations operating on American soil. **Current Status** The bill is currently in committee (S 833, 119th Congress), meaning it has been referred to the appropriate Senate committee for review and has not yet advanced to a floor vote. At this stage, it has not been enacted into law.
