President Trump signed an executive order imposing sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC), asserting it has been illegitimately targeting the U.S. and Israel. The order cites the ICC's preliminary investigations into U.S. personnel and its arrest warrants against Israeli leaders as key motives for these sanctions. Trump argues that both nations reject the ICC's jurisdiction, claiming that their militaries follow international laws of war. The sanctions could restrict entry to the U.S. for ICC officials and block their assets.
The sanctions may include barring entry into the United States of ICC officials, agents, employees and immediate family members, as well as the blocking of property and assets.
The ICC is the only permanent international court that wields power to prosecute individuals for genocide, crimes against humanity, crimes of aggression and war crimes.
