Once upon a time, the US was active in establishing the International Criminal Court . . . but now it is intent on destroying all global institutions that hold any of Trump's allies to account.

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 15h

The Trump administration announced on Friday that it was imposing severe financial sanctions on the International Criminal Court, its latest effort to undermine the global body that seeks to prosecute those accused of war crimes, genocide and other murderous criminal acts.

Trump Administration Hits International Criminal Court With Severe Sanctions

U.S. officials announced the new, sweeping punishments just hours after the Nobel Peace Prize committee gave its annual honor to a former court judge.

⚡️New signals suggest that ICC-wide US sanctions are coming shortly.

The Trump regime is unhappy with what it calls the inability of the Assembly of States Parties to constrain the ICC. Rather, it's the US gov't that must learn to constrain itself.
