Sancțiuni fără precedent: SUA blochează tranzacțiile și operațiunile Curții Penale Internaționale

The Trump administration imposed sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC) shortly after a former judge won the Nobel Peace Prize. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the decision, emphasizing the need to protect U.S. sovereignty against ICC actions targeting American citizens. The sanctions aim to restrict the ICC's operations and discourage collaboration with U.S. companies. This move follows a long-standing U.S. opposition to the ICC, particularly regarding its jurisdiction over American military personnel. The ICC condemned the sanctions, asserting they undermine international law and its independent judicial role. The U.S. has previously imposed targeted sanctions against ICC officials, which were lifted under President Biden.
