  "summary": "The United States has imposed sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC), restricting US-based companies from working with the tribunal. This move comes hours after Navi Pillay, a South African-born jurist and former UN human rights chief, won the Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts in promoting international law.\n\nPillay, who has worked at the ICC, was recognised for her work, including leading a panel that found Israel committed genocide in Gaza. Her win is seen as a rebuke to US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who have been critical of the ICC.\n\nThe sanctions, announced by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, aim to cripple the ICC's operations, with Rubio stating that the US will end the ICC if it does not end its threats. The court has rejected the sanctions as an attack on international law, with several countries, including Canada, France, Germany, Japan, and the UK, expressing disagreement with the US move.",
