MANILA: U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Thursday there were "lunatics, crazies" in the International Criminal Court and there was no way any U.S. political or military officials would ever go on trial as the country was not a signatory to its treaty.

"If people want to sign and be a part of that stupid organisation, they can. But we're not going to be a part of it, and they're not going to apply their jurisdiction to Americans," he told reporters in Manila.
