ICC Chief Cautions on Law Erosion
The United States has imposed sanctions on International Criminal Court President Karim Khan and Prosecutor Karim Khan, preventing them from entering American territory and conducting financial transactions within the U.S. system. Khan stated that these measures threaten the rule of international law and viewed the attack on the court as an attempt to undermine its independence, especially given the ongoing investigations related to Israel and Russia, which include arrest warrants against high-level officials, some of which are directed at Khan himself. Despite Japan's support for the court, the US, although a signatory to the Rome Statute, has not ratified it and considers these sanctions as part of a response to the Court's investigations. Khan affirmed that targeting him will not affect the court's independence.
