Times: U.S. sanctions may limit ICC engagement
The British newspaper The Times has warned that potential US sanctions against the International Criminal Court could hinder its ability to operate, especially if they extend to companies and institutions that work with or provide services to the court. Sources indicated that any entity communicating with the court could face US sanctions, which might impede its operations and lead to its isolation from essential services. In September, The Wall Street Journal reported that the Trump administration was preparing to impose broad sanctions that could affect the court’s ability to carry out transactions in US dollars, prompting the court to take steps to terminate its contract with the company "Axa" to protect itself from potential sanctions. These measures come after Washington imposed personal sanctions on court officials in 2025, including nine judges and two deputy prosecutors, related to investigations involving Israeli officials, while the court maintains its jurisdiction under the Rome Statute.
