The International Criminal Court (ICC) has strongly condemned U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to impose economic and travel sanctions on its staff involved in investigations of U.S. citizens or allies. Trump's move, a repeat of his actions during his first term, is viewed as a protest against the ICC's arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, issued during the Israeli leader's visit to Washington. The ICC asserts that the sanctions will hinder its judicial work and urges its 125 member states to support its pursuit of justice and human rights.
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands - The International Criminal Court on Friday said it condemned the decision by U.S. President Donald Trump to impose sanctions on its staff. Trump on Thursday authorized economic and travel sanctions targeting people who work on International Criminal Court investigations of U.S. citizens or U.S. allies such as Israel , repeating action he took during his first term.
The ICC said the order would undermine its judicial work and urged its 125 member states "to stand united" for justice and human rights."The court stands firmly by its personnel and pledges to continue providing justice and hope to millions of innocent victims of atrocities across the world, in all situations before it," the court said.
