Japanese judge on US and Moscow sanctions list
Japanese judge Tomoko Akani has been included on both the U.S. and Russian sanctions lists due to international arrest warrants issued by the International Court against Russian and Israeli officials, including two warrants for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. These warrants are related to allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity in conflicts such as the Gaza war. Washington has imposed sanctions on her, including asset freezes and bans on financial transactions, viewing this as an attack on the independence of the international judiciary. Japan and Europe, on the other hand, have condemned the sanctions, considering them a violation of the sovereignty of international justice. The court maintains its principled stance of continuing its work despite the legal and political pressures and challenges.
