Donald Trump's recent executive order sanctions the International Criminal Court (ICC), allowing him to freeze its assets and bar its officials from entering the U.S. This move, which echoes a previous attempt overturned by Joe Biden, threatens the court's independence and undermines global justice efforts, particularly regarding investigations into war crimes in Ukraine. Despite widespread condemnation from 79 ICC member states, Australia has yet to respond, raising concerns about its commitment to international justice, especially in light of its historical role in supporting such initiatives.
Trump's sanctions against the International Criminal Court threaten its independence and could jeopardize the confidentiality and safety of victims involved in pending investigations.
Australia's silence on Trump's punitive measures contrasts sharply with the 79 member states that have reaffirmed their unwavering support for the ICC's mission and independence.
