  "summary": "The United States has imposed sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC), hours after a former judge, Navi Pillay, won the Nobel Peace Prize. The sanctions, imposed by the administration of US President Donald Trump, restrict transactions with the ICC and potentially punish companies that provide services to the court.\n\nThe ICC denounced the move as an \"assault on the rule of law and on the very foundations of the international legal order\" and called on its 125 member states to take action to defend it. The court's deputy prosecutor, Nazhat Shameem Khan, condemned the sanctions, stating they would not halt the tribunal's work.\n\nThe Trump administration has long been hostile to the ICC, which was founded in 2002 to prosecute war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. According to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, \"President Trump will never allow the International Criminal Court to prosecute Americans.\"",
