U.S. sanctions threaten ICC independence
Al-Damir Foundation for Human Rights warned that the American sanctions imposed on the International Criminal Court threaten judicial independence and hinder its ability to hold perpetrators of international crimes accountable, especially in the occupied Palestinian territories. It emphasized that these sanctions constitute political and economic pressure aimed at undermining the Court's work, with consequences related to obstructing investigations and prosecutions, thereby worsening the suffering of victims and reinforcing impunity. The organization called on the international community and member states to take measures to protect the Court's independence and ensure the continuity of its work, while urging the United States to immediately revoke these sanctions.
