Trump administration prepares sanctions against International Criminal Court, sources say
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in July announced a campaign to isolate the court, calling on other countries to withdraw from the tribunal.
The Trump administration has prepared sanctions against the International Criminal Court (ICC), according to two sources. This move would escalate the US attack on the global tribunal, which prosecutes war crimes and genocide. The United States, never an ICC member, previously imposed sanctions on individual ICC judges and prosecutors. The new, broader sanctions could be announced as early as this week during the United Nations General Assembly meeting.
- Entity-wide sanctions would prohibit US citizens and companies from providing funds, goods, or services to the ICC without a license.
- The ICC's registrar and president have warned that such sanctions could impact operations like purchasing IT services, insurance, hiring investigators, and everyday financial transactions, including paying American employees.
