ICC 'deplores' new US sanctions on judges and prosecutors

Who's Affected?

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has condemned US government sanctions placed on prosecutors and judges of the court.

Background

These sanctions were implemented in response to investigations into US forces, and the alleged war crimes of Afghanistan, Israel, and Ukraine.

Impending Impact

These sanctions will impede the court's ability to conduct investigations and bring accused war criminals to justice, undermining the integrity of the ICC and its mission.

Continued Support

Despite these obstacles, the ICC remains committed to achieving justice and upholding the rule of law, as demonstrated by its recent appeal for support against these sanctions.

Conclusion

As these sanctions highlight the importance of the rule of law, the ICC continues to face challenges in bringing justice to those who commit heinous crimes.
