ICC considers US sanctions alternatives
The International Criminal Court expects the United States to impose new sanctions against it, as threats to undermine its independence and operations intensify—especially following increased American attacks, which the Court considers to stem from a misunderstanding of its activities. The prosecutors are working to find alternatives to preserve its independence, despite U.S. sanctions against Court officials, including restrictions on the use of payment systems, which hinder their ability to carry out their duties. Among the major cases the Court is preparing to pursue is the trial of former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, who is linked to crimes against humanity. Meanwhile, the prosecutor is working to counter the impact of these sanctions on the Court’s ability to operate independently and effectively.
