U.S. Sanctions on International Criminal Court Representatives Spark Concerns Among European Countries

Media: Sanctions against representatives of the International Criminal Court by the US should concern European governments

The Irish Times stated that the sanctions imposed by the US on representatives of the International Criminal Court should concern European governments.

The current US government, led by President Trump, has repeatedly imposed sanctions on representatives of the International Criminal Court.

The article also pointed out: "The fact that European citizens working for international organizations within Europe may become targets of sanctions is deeply troubling to all European governments."

The article also emphasized that if powerful countries can authorize investigations and punish judges, the credibility of the entire international judicial system would be threatened.

The article also mentioned an example of an International Criminal Court judge who was sanctioned by the US: this judge was "blocked economically by most parts of the world" due to the US sanctions.
