> Washington imposed sanctions hours after former International Criminal Court judge Navi Pillay received the Nobel Peace Prize. The ICC prosecutes war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide, and has issued arrest warrants for more than 70 people, including Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu and Russia’s Vladimir Putin. The US has previously condemned the court, particularly over its warrants for Israeli officials; the latest move is aimed at crippling its operations, according to the report.
