The executive order grants Trump the broad power to impose freezing of assets along with travel bans against any ICC staff and their family members if the US determines that they were involved in the investigation and prosecution of US citizens and its allies Days after he met with Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order to impose sanctions on the International Criminal Court. The executive order grants Trump the broad power to impose freezing of assets along with travel bans against any ICC staff and their family members if the US determines that they were involved in the investigation and prosecution of US citizens and its allies. The order was seen as a retaliation to ICC’s decision to issue an arrest warrant against Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant. Trump’s order received backlash from the secretary general of Amnesty International, Agnès Callamard, who said that the order “sends the message that Israel is above the law and the universal principles of international justice”.
