PoliticsHuman rights groups sue Trump administration over ‘crippling’ ICC sanctions

Four prominent US human rights organizations have taken the Trump administration to federal court over sanctions imposed on the International Criminal Court. They say the measures are intended to obstruct global efforts to prosecute war crimes and crimes against humanity. The lawsuit challenges an executive order aimed at the ICC over its investigation into alleged Israeli crimes in Palestine. The groups also object to sanctions targeting people and organizations linked to or assisting the court, calling the campaign a “blatantly illegal attack on international justice”.
