The International Criminal Court (ICC) has reported that the sanctions imposed by the Trump administration are significantly obstructing its work, particularly those targeting chief prosecutor Karim Khan. Implemented in response to warrant requests against Israeli officials, the sanctions have reportedly made it nearly impossible for the tribunal to perform essential tasks. Investigations, including those into atrocities committed in Sudan, have been stalled due to the sanctions and legal challenges, with fears of reprisal for American staff exacerbating the situation.
The sanctions imposed by the Trump administration on the ICC and its staff, particularly targeting prosecutor Karim Khan, have severely hindered the court's ability to pursue justice.
According to ICC staffers, the sanctions have critically limited their ability to conduct fundamental operations, leaving myriad investigations stalled and victims of war crimes without recourse.
These sanctions not only impact Khan directly but also send a chilling effect through the entire court, affecting American staff members who fear arrest or penalties.
Investigations into atrocities, such as those in Sudan, have come to a standstill, as ongoing lawsuits loom large over the ICC's capabilities to function effectively.
