US sanctions on ICC President over Israel probes
The United States imposed sanctions on International Criminal Court President, Japanese Tamoko Akanit, and Deputy Prosecutor Abdulahi Sey, due to their investigations into Israeli crimes during the Gaza war. Washington accuses them of being politically motivated and exceeding their judicial authority. The court responded with a strongly worded statement, emphasizing that these sanctions undermine the sovereignty of the judiciary and threaten the independence of the international judicial system. The court also pledged to continue supporting its staff and the rights of victims. The sanctions include a travel ban for the targeted officials to the United States and the freezing of their financial transactions, marking the first direct targeting of the court's president, despite her being an American ally. This move comes in response to the court's investigations into the targeting of Israeli officials with charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
