ICC warns of rule of law erosion after US sanctions
On Friday, the Japanese President of the International Criminal Court, Tomoko Akane, appeared behind the backdrop of U.S. sanctions imposed on her, warning that such measures could lead to the demise of international rule of law. She emphasized that the sanctions imposed by the United States on officials of the court, including Akane herself and the Deputy Prosecutor, should not mark the beginning of dismantling the international judicial system. She pointed out the need to safeguard fundamental principles of the rule of law at the global level. These warnings come amid escalating U.S. tensions with the court, which Washington accuses of being politicized, reflecting underlying disagreements between the United States and the international body over its authority and credibility.
