US Imposes Sanctions on International Criminal Court

US Imposes Sanctions on International Criminal Court

The U.S. has imposed sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC) as an institution, freezing its assets under U.S. jurisdiction and barring American businesses from dealing with it. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated the U.S. would dismantle the court if it continues its actions. The sanctions follow the ICC's investigations into U.S. personnel in Afghanistan and its arrest warrants against Israeli leaders. The ICC called the sanctions an "attack on the rule of law," while Israel criticized the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to a former ICC judge involved in a UN inquiry against the country.
