US sanctions ICC president and prosecutor
The United States has imposed sanctions on International Criminal Court President, Japanese Judge Tsomoko Akani, and Senegalese lawyer Abdoullah Cisse, due to their involvement in investigations and decisions against officials or their arrests. This is part of a U.S.-led campaign under the Trump administration targeting the court, which is responsible for prosecuting war criminals and genocide, despite Washington not being a member. The U.S. Secretary of State stated that the sanctions aim to hinder the court’s efforts, which Washington considers a threat to the rule of law. The court condemned the move, viewing it as undermining the international legal system. These measures come amid tensions between the United States and its European allies, especially given Washington’s non-recognition of the legitimacy of arrest warrants issued against Israeli officials by the court.
