    TAG’s Legal Strategy: A Clear Escalating Path

    TAG’s work follows a unified legal strategy to expose and end U.S. complicity in genocide and gross human rights violations.

    TAG began with a class action lawsuit in federal court against members of Congress and other U.S. officials. When that case was dismissed on the claim that genocide posed a “political question,” TAG continued forward.

    Working with National Lawyers Guild attorneys led by Huwaida Arraf, we submitted a complaint to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, which remains pending, and filed a major report with the United Nations Human Rights Council documenting U.S. participation in genocide and war crimes.

    Now we must take the next - and most consequential - step: the ICC.

    TAG’s Current Legal Action -- the International Criminal Court

    TAG is launching a legal effort to defend our right to submit evidence to the International Criminal Court (ICC) seeking the criminal prosecution of U.S. officials for genocide and crimes against humanity.

    In February 2025, President Trump issued an executive order prohibiting cooperation with the ICC. Trump’s executive order has already been used to punish ICC prosecutors. It threatens others who support them in cases involving U.S. officials and their “allies.” 

    TAG’s position is simple: executive action cannot erase our right to seek accountability through lawful international mechanisms.

    The ICC prosecutes individuals - including senior government officials and corporate actors - whose decisions authorize or materially enable genocide and war crimes. Defending access to that process is one important part of TAG’s broader accountability work.
