ICC Prosecutor warns of legal breakdown
The United States has imposed sanctions on International Criminal Court President Tomaoko Akanī, a move she viewed as the latest threat to the rule of international law. The sanctions prevent her from entering the United States and conducting financial transactions there. Akanī responded by describing what happened as an attack on the court's independence. These measures come amid tensions between the court and the United States, particularly following investigations into cases involving Israel and Russia, and Washington's refusal to ratify the Rome Statute that established the court. Akanī, who was recently elected President of the Court in March 2024, is considered a senior official of the institution, and the U.S. stance threatens the stability of the international legal system.
