The International Criminal Court (ICC) has condemned US President Donald Trump's recent executive order imposing sanctions on its staff. The sanctions are said to target the ICC's ability to investigate serious crimes such as genocide and crimes against humanity. The decision follows an ICC warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whom Trump recently hosted. In turn, world leaders and human rights advocates have rallied to defend the ICC, emphasizing its role in promoting justice and protecting victims globally, with calls for the US to reconsider these sanctions.
The ICC stands firmly by its personnel and pledges to continue providing justice and hope to millions of innocent victims of atrocities across the world.
Germany's Olaf Scholz criticized the sanctions, stating they jeopardize an institution designed to prevent persecutions and wars by dictators.
