U.S. sanctions may end ICC
The "Times" newspaper reported that the anticipated U.S. sanctions against the International Criminal Court could lead to its dissolution, as they are expected to target cooperating institutions, preventing dealings with them and risking their disappearance. It also mentioned that the Trump administration is preparing to impose broad sanctions that would restrict the court's operations, such as preventing it from conducting transactions in dollars. Additionally, it halted contracts with companies like "Axa" to shield them from sanctions. A European diplomat described the news as bad for the court's main supporters, while a lawyer noted that being placed on the sanctions list could paralyze all judicial proceedings. In 2025, the United States imposed sanctions on court officials, including judges and senior staff, which led to legal actions against Trump and other officials.
