ICC rejects new US sanctions against its judges and prosecutors

# The International Criminal Court has rejected new US sanctions on its judges and prosecutors. The US State Department has imposed new sanctions on two judges and two prosecutors in the ICC for engaging in efforts to prosecute American and Israeli citizens. The ICC says these sanctions are a flagrant attack against the independence of an impartial judicial institution, which operates under the mandate of 125 States Parties from all regions. It adds that it will continue fulfilling its mandate, undeterred, in strict accordance with its legal framework.
