The United States expands its campaign against the International Criminal Court and sanctions its president
The measures against Tomoko Akane and prosecutor Abdoulaye Seye come in addition to those adopted against 11 other magistrates. Washington aims to dismantle the institution responsible for prosecuting war crimes and crimes against humanity.
The US Department of State has announced sanctions against Tomoko Akane, President of the International Criminal Court, and Abdoulaye Seye, one of the court's chief prosecutors. The move is part of the Trump administration's crackdown on the ICC, a multilateral institution that prosecutes war crimes and military aggression. The sanctions come as the US continues to target international organisations that the Trump administration has opposed.
