US Imposes Sanctions on International Criminal Court
Summarized from The Jerusalem Post by baba
The United States has imposed sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC) just hours after one of its former judges won the Nobel Peace Prize. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated the sanctions aim to prevent the ICC from prosecuting Americans and to cripple its operations. The ICC's deputy prosecutor condemned the move, vowing the court's work would continue despite the "rogue court" designation. The sanctions follow the ICC's issuance of arrest warrants for Israeli officials and a past investigation into US soldiers.
