Washington sanctions ICC President Tokyo reacts
The United States imposed sanctions on International Criminal Court President Fatou Bensouda and Deputy Prosecutor Abdullah Sa, due to the court's investigations into matters related to Israel and the judicial campaigns against officials, including arrest warrants against Israeli officials and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Japan described the sanctions as "very unfortunate" and reaffirmed its support for the rule of law and the Court's work, while the Netherlands defended the independence of the judicial body. The United States announced that the sanctions aim to prevent the court from exceeding its jurisdiction and marginalizing the role of sovereign states. The court has previously faced significant criticism from Washington, which considers it a "corrupt and politicized" organization.
