Sanctions on Justice: A Pattern Emerges The United Nations' Secretary General Antonio Guterres has expressed serious concern over the US decision to impose sanctions on International Criminal Court (ICC) officials, including its President Tomoko Akane and senior trial lawyer Abdoulaye Seye.
This move marks another escalation in the Trump administration's campaign against The Hague based court, established by the international community in 2002. Guterres' concern is not unfounded.
Since taking office, the current US administration has consistently demonstrated a disdain for international institutions and treaties that limit its power.
