Trump administration imposes sanctions on four ICC judges in unprecedented move

UNITED STATES, JUN 6 – The sanctions block US-based assets and restrict financial transactions of four ICC judges who authorized investigations into alleged war crimes by US troops and Israeli officials.

  • On Thursday, the Trump administration imposed sanctions on four female ICC judges over arrest warrants linked to alleged war crimes in Gaza and Afghanistan.
  • The sanctions followed the ICC's issuance of arrest warrants for Israeli leaders and a 2020 probe into U.S. troop actions, with the U.S. and Israel denying ICC jurisdiction.
  • The targeted judges include Solomy Balungi Bossa and Luz del Carmen Ibanez Carranza, involved in Afghanistan investigations, and Reine Alapini Gansou and Beti Hohler, who authorized Gaza-related arrest warrants.
  • Secretary of State Marco Rubio called the ICC 'politicized' and urged countries to oppose it, while the ICC called the sanctions an attempt to undermine its independence.
  • The sanctions block the judges' U.S. entry and assets and include financial restrictions, deepening U.S. animosity toward the ICC amid prior sanctions and the court's ongoing war crimes investigations.
