La Administración de Trump impone sanciones el Tribunal Penal Internacional
El anuncio llega horas después de que una de sus exjuezas ganara el Premio Nobel de la Paz, al que aspira el presidente de Estados Unidos
The U.S. administration imposed sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC) on Friday, just hours after one of its former judges won the Nobel Peace Prize, a prize the U.S. president has repeatedly said he believes should have been granted to him. Deputy prosecutor Nazhat Shameem Khan condemned the sanctions, stating they would not stop the Hague-based court from continuing its work.
The prize was awarded to the veteran South African jurist Navanethem Navi Pillay for her efforts to promote peace and international law, according to the Norwegian Nobel Academy. The award recognizes a person with "exceptional courage and integrity" who has "played a decisive role in ensuring that war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide are prosecuted."
Pillay (Durban, South Africa, 85 years old) has had a distinguished career in the main international justice institutions and, despite her advanced age, remains active.
