ICC sanctions put the US ‘on the side of war criminals’: HRW
US government sanctions targeting the International Criminal Court will undermine international accountability for the worst crimes and deprive victims around the globe of justice, Human Rights Watch has said.

The group added that an executive order issued by Trump on Thursday, which authorises asset freezes and entry bans on ICC officials and others supporting the court’s work, makes clear that the Trump administration “seeks to shield US and Israeli officials from facing war crimes and crimes against humanity charges”.

“Trump’s executive order on the International Criminal Court effectively puts the United States on the side of war criminals at the expense of victims of grave crimes seeking justice,” Liz Evenson, the group’s international justice director, said in a statement.

“ICC member countries should publicly and forcefully support the court for doing the job it was set up to do: ensuring no one is above the law.”
