  "account": "The United States government, under President Donald Trump, initiated international criminal court (ICC) sanctions, prompting Japan to express deep concern. The Japanese government emphasized the importance of \"the rule of law\" and actively supported the ICC. On the night before, Foreign Minister Motohashi Yoshihide had a phone conversation with ICC Secretary-General Akane Dōko, exchanging views on the response to the U.S. sanctions. Later that day, U.S. Secretary of State Roupie also spoke with Motohashi, agreeing to maintain close communication on the matter. Not long after, on September 9th, Japanese Prime Minister Kanai criticized the U.S. sanctions on the ICC, stating that the U.S. decision was inconsistent with Japan's support for the rule of law. Kanai emphasized that Japan has consistently valued the rule of law and that the ICC has been crucial in upholding it. The U.S. sanctions on the ICC have had significant consequences for U.S. assets and restricted dealings with U.S. companies. The ICC has imposed sanctions on 17 individuals, including Secretary-General Akane Dōko, and allowed limited exemptions for necessary transactions and six months of maintenance. Japan, a founding member of the ICC, has been a major contributor to its budget since 2007. The country's current ICC Secretary is also Japanese. However, the U.S. highlighted Japan's dependence on U.S. military support, urging the country to join the sanctions. Secretary Roupie stated that the U.S. sanctions are a response to perceived threats to U.S. sovereignty and its citizens from the ICC.",
