The International Criminal Court (ICC) President, Tomoko Akane, has strongly condemned the recent US sanctions, calling them “serious attacks” on the global law-based order. These sanctions, issued by US President Donald Trump, target ICC officials, employees, and their family members, as well as anyone who has helped the court’s investigations.
The sanctions are a response to the ICC’s probe into alleged Israeli war crimes in Gaza. The measures include asset freezes and travel bans, which Akane says undermine the Court’s ability to administer justice. She emphasized that the ICC is a judicial body that performs functions aligned with the interests of the international community, promoting universally recognized rules of international law.
The ICC President rejected any attempt to influence the independence and impartiality of the Court or to politicize its judicial function. She noted that the ICC is “indispensable” given the atrocities being committed around the world.
It’s worth noting that this is not the first time the US has imposed sanctions on the ICC. In 2020, the Trump administration issued an executive order authorizing sanctions against ICC officials, which was later revoked by the Biden administration.
