The United Nations-backed International Criminal Court (ICC) said that it “strongly rejects” the sanctions imposed on four of its judges by the U.S. government on Aug. 20, calling for the Trump administration to reverse course.
“These sanctions are a flagrant attack against the independence of an impartial judicial institution which operates under the mandate from 125 States Parties from all regions,” the ICC said in its statement. “They constitute also an affront against the Court’s States Parties, the rules-based international order and, above all, millions of innocent victims across the world.”
