Topic poll · all networksHow should NYC handle security for Netanyahu's visit?
The US 'unsigned' the ICC treaty in 2002 — it has no arrest duty.
President Bush withdrew the US signature from the Rome Statute in 2002, citing sovereignty concerns. That decision is why no US official is legally obligated to act on the ICC warrant during Netanyahu's NYC visit.
NYC spends ~$35M yearly on NYPD overtime for world leader security.
Each September's UN General Assembly costs NYC tens of millions in police overtime. High-profile visits like Netanyahu's require hundreds of officers, street closures, and federal coordination — billed largely to NYC taxpayers.
