Congressman Don Davis Votes to Sanction the ICC and Protect Democratic Allies

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Don Davis (NC-01) voted in support of H.R. 8282, the Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act, bipartisan legislation that passed by a margin of 247-155. The legislation would impose sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC) and affiliated entities and individuals seeking to impose undue legal action on Israel and other American allies.

“We must stand with our democratic allies around the world as they face threats from terrorists and state sponsors of terror,” said Congressman Don Davis. “Attempts by international courts to punish our allies for defending their very existence distract us from the true threats to our national security. In these challenging times, the free world must always stand together, united and strong, against those who seek to undermine our shared values and freedoms.”

Since taking office, Congressman Davis has shown a commitment to defending democracy and safeguarding national security. In May, he voted for H.R. 8369, the Israel Security Assistance Support Act. In April, he voted for H.R. 8034, the Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act. In February, Congressman Davis visited Ukraine on the two-year anniversary of Russia’s invasion. Last August, he toured Kfar Aza Kibbutz, one of the sites in Israel where Hamas terrorists slaughtered hundreds of innocent people on October 7, 2023.
