US sanctions ICC president for alleged abuses
The U.S. government has imposed sanctions on two ICC officials, accusing the court of politicization and overreach, as part of a broader effort to challenge the ICC's authority to investigate nationals from non-member countries like the U.S. and Israel. The sanctions, announced by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, freeze assets and restrict transactions with Americans. The ICC maintains it has jurisdiction over certain crimes committed in member states, including Afghanistan and Gaza, and issued warrants for Israeli officials and others involved in alleged war crimes.
