Americas2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported41m ago
International Criminal Court (ICC) President Tomoko Akane warned on Friday against the demise of the international rule of law. The warning follows the United States' decision on Tuesday to impose sanctions on Akane, a Japanese national, and trial lawyer Abdoulaye Seye of Senegal.
The US sanctions bar Akane from entering the United States and prohibit her from conducting transactions through the US financial system. The measures represent direct financial and travel restrictions against high-ranking officials of the international tribunal.
