ISTANBUL, Aug 19 (Bernama-Anadolu) — The International Criminal Court (ICC) on Wednesday strongly rejected new United States (US) sanctions targeting the court’s president and a senior lawyer in its prosecutor’s office, describing the measures as a “flagrant attack” on judicial independence, Anadolu Ajansi reported.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio imposed sanctions on two International Criminal Court (ICC) officials, targeting ICC President Tomoko Akane and senior trial lawyer Abdoulaye Seye, as part of a broader campaign to undermine the court's jurisdiction. The move follows years of U.S. criticism toward the ICC, particularly its investigations into American officials and Israel. Rubio accused the ICC of overreaching by pursuing cases against non-member states, including the issuance of arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in 2024. The ICC condemned the sanctions as an attack on judicial independence, emphasizing its commitment to prosecuting international crimes. This action aligns with a Trump-era strategy to pressure countries to withdraw from the ICC, exemplified by Venezuela and Chad's recent exits. The U.S. has also urged allies to cut funding for the court, framing it as a threat to national sovereignty. Critics argue these measures risk undermining global justice mechanisms, while supporters claim they protect American interests from politically motivated prosecutions.
