Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

U.S. to Adopt Aggressive Stance Against International Criminal Court

HeadlineSep 10, 2018

President Trump’s national security adviser, John Bolton, is expected to announce today that the United States will adopt an aggressive stance against the International Criminal Court, including threatening sanctions against the court if it tries to investigate alleged war crimes committed by U.S. troops in Afghanistan. In Bolton’s speech today to the Federalist Society, he’s also expected to announce the closure of the Washington, D.C., office of the Palestine Liberation Organization, or the PLO, as retaliation for the Palestinians’ efforts to bring alleged Israeli military war crimes to the International Criminal Court.
