Carney Says Canada Backs ICC but Stays Mum on Trump-Sanctioned Canadian Judge
Carney said Canada will support the International Criminal Court as Kimberly Prost asks a New York court to overturn sanctions that cut off her credit cards.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney said Wednesday that Canada's support for the International Criminal Court is "unequivocal" but stopped short of criticizing U.S. President Donald Trump's sanctioning of a Canadian judge.
- Trump sanctioned Winnipeg-born ICC judge Kimberly Prost last August over her work on a case involving American troops in Afghanistan, leaving her unable to access her credit cards.
- U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has pledged to "dismantle" the ICC and urged allies to pull out, while the Trump administration criticized the court for issuing an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
- The NDP has urged Ottawa to use a "blocking statute" under the Foreign Extraterritorial Measures Act to bar Canadian businesses from enforcing U.S. sanctions, yet Ottawa has offered no public criticism of Trump's actions.
- Last month, Ottawa stated it supported ICC members ousting prosecutor Karim Khan, who rejects allegations of sexual harassment, though officials would not disclose how Canada voted on his expulsion.
