US Treasury sanctions ICC President
The U.S. Treasury Department has imposed sanctions on Japanese Judge Tomoko Akanai, the President of the International Criminal Court, and Deputy Prosecutor General Abdullah Si, due to their involvement in efforts to detain or prosecute officials who do not accept the Court's jurisdiction. These actions are an attempt to undermine the work of the International Criminal Court and its investigations into international issues. The sanctions indicate escalating tensions between the United States and the Court and come amid American accusations that the two judges participated in efforts to undermine its authority. The U.S. government has also refused to recognize court summonses or orders targeting officials from certain countries.
