US Treasury Imposes Sanctions On Chief ICC Prosecutor
Dozens of nations have warned that Washington’s actions against the ICC ‘threaten to erode the international rule of law’
The US Treasury Department announced on 13 February that it is imposing economic sanctions on International Criminal Court (ICC) chief prosecutor Karim Khan, freezing all his assets in the US and barring him from entering the country.
Khan was officially added to the Treasury’s Specially Designated Nationals and blocked persons list over his decision to issue “baseless arrest warrants targeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former minister of defense Yoav Gallant.”
“The ICC has no jurisdiction over the United States or Israel, as neither country is party to the Rome Statute or a member of the ICC,” a statement from US officials reads.
Thursday’s announcement follows an executive order signed by US President Donald Trump last week imposing sanctions against the ICC.
Since taking office, Trump has accused the ICC of “illegitimate and baseless actions targeting America and our close ally, Israel,” claiming that the court’s actions set a “dangerous precedent” that can expose US citizens to “harassment, abuse, and possible arrest.”
