@twt_unleashed: U.S. Sanctions ICC President Tomoko Akane, Freezes American Assets The United States has imposed sanctions on International Criminal Court President Tomoko Akane as part of the Trump administration’s escalating dispute with the ICC. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the sanctions on August 18, saying Akane and senior ICC lawyer Abdoulaye Seye were involved in efforts to investigate or prosecute officials from countries that have not accepted the court’s jurisdiction. The sanctions freeze any U.S.-based assets they hold and sharply restrict access to the American financial system. Washington says the ICC has overreached, especially in cases involving Israel and past investigations of U.S. personnel. The ICC has rejected the move, saying the sanctions undermine judicial independence and the rule of law. #icc #worldnews #crime #news
