US hits international court’s top prosecutor with sanctions after Trump’s order

Associated Press  

UNITED NATIONS — The U.S. sanctioned the International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor Thursday, following up on President Donald Trump’s order last week targeting the court over its investigations of Israel. He accused the court of “illegitimate and baseless actions targeting America and our close ally Israel,” citing the ICC’s arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant over alleged war crimes in Gaza. They deny the accusations, and Netanyahu has called the warrant “absurd.” Trump’s order foreshadowed “tangible and significant consequences” for those responsible for the court’s “transgressions.” Khan was seen as a likely figure. The court’s president has condemned Trump’s order, and United Nations deputy spokesperson Farhan Haq on Thursday called the ICC “a fundamental pillar of international justice.” The court is independent, but the U.N. was instrumental in creating it, and the ICC’s top prosecutor sometimes briefs the U.N. Security Council.
