79 Nations Condemn U.S. Sanctions on International Criminal Court

The Trump administration's sanctions target ICC personnel after the court issued a warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu over alleged war crimes.

The U.S., under President Trump, imposed sanctions on ICC officials, blocking their entry into the U.S. and freezing assets, citing alleged abuse of power by the court.
The sanctions follow the ICC's issuance of a warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and others over alleged war crimes in Gaza.
A coalition of 79 countries, including Germany, France, and South Africa, criticized the sanctions, warning they undermine international law and accountability.
The ICC defended its independence, stating it remains committed to justice for victims of atrocities worldwide despite external pressures.
Support for the ICC came from global leaders, including EU officials and the German Chancellor, who emphasized the importance of maintaining the court's impartiality and authority.
