US Edition'Significant consequences': Trump order may bar Amal Clooney from US
- In February 2025, the Trump administration issued an executive order imposing sanctions on personnel and affiliates of the International Criminal Court involved in investigations of alleged war crimes in Israel and Gaza.
- The order addressed the ICC’s November 2024 arrest warrants issued against Israel’s head of government, Benjamin Netanyahu, and ex-Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, for alleged crimes against humanity—warrants that Trump dismissed as unfounded and illegitimate.
- The sanctions, authorized under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, include asset freezes and travel bans affecting ICC staff, their families, and possibly senior British lawyers like human rights lawyer Amal Clooney due to her involvement with ICC cases.
- Alexandro Maria Tirelli, a British international lawyer, noted these measures could bar Clooney and other barristers from entering the US without due process, marking an unprecedented action against legal professionals purely for their work with the ICC.
- The order raises concerns about legal freedoms and may lead to further sanctions, while highlighting tensions between the US administration’s support for Israel and international judicial attempts to address alleged war crimes.
