PoliticsTrump administration sanctions sitting ICC president for ‘abuses of power’

The Trump administration sanctioned ICC President Tomoko Akane and senior trial lawyer Abdoulaye Seye, accusing the court of being “corrupt and fatally politicized.” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the measures freeze their U.S.-jurisdiction assets and restrict access to Americans and the U.S. financial system. The ICC called the sanctions an attack on judicial independence that undermines the rule of law.
