On Thursday, the US imposed new sanctions targeting judges at the International Criminal Court (ICC) as part of ongoing tensions over its investigations into alleged war crimes by Israeli officials and US military personnel. The ICC criticized these sanctions as an attempted undermining of its independence, while the EU has struggled with a unified stance. Calls are emerging for the EU to utilize legal frameworks to counteract US sanctions. This situation underscores increasing challenges faced by the ICC in maintaining its capacity and credibility in international justice.
The ICC criticized the US sanctions as a clear attempt to undermine the independence of an international judicial institution, which is essential for global justice.
The EU's mixed response to ICC rulings has exposed vulnerabilities in international criminal justice, raising calls for the bloc to counter US sanctions.
