The International Criminal Court (ICC) stated that it will continue its work despite U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to impose sanctions on its staff. The announcement was made on February 7.
The ICC condemned the U.S. decision to sanction its officials, emphasizing that it harms the court’s independence and impartial judicial activities.
The court firmly stands by its staff and will continue its work to ensure justice, offering hope to millions of innocent victims of crimes worldwide in the cases under its review, the statement said.
Additionally, the International Criminal Court called on the 125 countries that have signed the Rome Statute, civil society, and all nations to unite in support of justice and human rights.
It is important to note that on February 6, Donald Trump signed an executive order imposing sanctions on the ICC, primarily in response to an arrest warrant issued for senior Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
