US sanctions four International Criminal Court judges

The U.S. said Thursday it would approve four International Criminal Court (ICC) judges through a portion of a previous executive order issued in February.

According to a situation from the office of State Department spokesman Tammy Bruce, the U.S. said the four judges that the U.S. said the U.S. said the sanctions were Reine Alapini-Gansou, Luz del Carmen Ibáñez Carranza, Solomy Balungi Bossa and Beti Hohler.

“We will not take this step easily. It reflects the severity of the threat we face in the politicization and abuse of power in the ICC,” the situation statement reads.

Part of Trump’s previous executive order restricts financial transactions in the United States or with Americans because “any foreigner identified by the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Treasury Secretary and the Attorney General, has to work directly to investigate, arrest, detain, detain, detain, prosecute or prosecute the person, the country does not agree.”

“These individuals conduct investigations directly without the consent of the United States or Israel by the International Criminal Court (ICC) without the consent of the United States or Israel,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio explained in a statement Thursday.

The International Criminal Court condemned the State Department’s actions in a statement Thursday, saying the sanctions were “a clear attempt to undermine the independence of the international judiciary.”
