US imposes sanctions on the International Criminal Court

The United States has imposed sanctions on the International Criminal Court, not just on individual officials.

The measures restrict the court’s access to US financial services and bar most US businesses and people from working with it.

The court says the sanctions threaten its ability to pursue justice, while the US says it wants the court to address its objections.

The ICC has 125 member states, and its leaders are asking them to help keep the court operating.
