Șefa CPI avertizează asupra riscului de „dispariție a statului de drept internațional”

The President of the International Criminal Court, Tomoko Akane, expressed concerns that U.S. sanctions against her could threaten international legal order. Akane anticipated the sanctions and emphasized the importance of maintaining the integrity of international law. The sanctions also target Deputy Prosecutor Abdoulaye Seye, restricting their access to the U.S. and blocking financial transactions. Various organizations and governments have voiced support for the ICC leadership, with Japan calling the sanctions regrettable. The U.S. defends its actions, linking them to the ICC's investigations into Israel's actions in Gaza, while the court faces significant pressure from Washington.
