  "summary": "The International Criminal Court (ICC) has announced that its annual meeting of member states, originally scheduled to take place at United Nations headquarters in New York, will now be held in The Hague. This change in venue comes after concerns were raised that U.S. sanctions could potentially restrict the participation of ICC officials, including President Tomoko Akane, who is subject to U.S. sanctions. Additionally, the move may affect some delegations and representatives of nongovernmental organizations due to U.S. visa restrictions. The Assembly of States Parties, the court's management oversight and legislative body, typically meets annually in either The Hague or New York to discuss the court's budget, personnel, and other matters.",
