@pimply56; the ill-conceived decision by the US Congress to publicly ridicule the ICC and the ICJ by inviting Netanyahu to address a joint sitting even as they seek to impose sanctions on the judges who comprise the ICC and the ICJ are without precedent.

The US is shredding international organisations which have taken the best of international cooperation a century to establish, it's tearing up the international rule of law and corrupting democratic values as it imposes it's increasingly tyrannical military will.

As noted by Penny Wong, such behaviours are being watched very closely by countries the US often criticises including North Korea, Iran, Russia and China - the USA is establishing very ugly benchmarks they may well choose to emulate.
