Three ICC judges filed suit against the Trump administration over what they describe as draconian and unlawful sanctions targeting the International Criminal Court. The judges argue the measures violate international law.
Three judges from the International Criminal Court filed suit against the Trump administration over sanctions they say are draconian and unlawful. The judges argue the measures violate international law.
This is unusual. Judges don't typically sue governments over policy disagreements. The fact that three of them did suggests they view the sanctions as extraordinary and retaliatory. The ICC has been investigating U.S. conduct, which is why Trump is sanctioning it—the sanctions are punishment for the Court stepping outside his preferred scope. But sanctions on judges for doing their jobs sets a new precedent for how governments respond when international institutions don't defer to them. If it works, other countries will copy the tactic.
