The US International Criminal Court (ICC) will impose new sanctions targeting four judges, State Secretary Marco Rubio announced in response to an investigation into military action and arrested the warrant issued against Israeli leaders.Rubio said in its statement, “The United States will take whatever work we do, whatever work we do to protect its sovereignty, Israel and any other American colleague from illegitimate works.”He said that there was a direct response to the sanctions what he said illegitimate action by the ICC against both the US and its colleague Israel. Four judges named Solomi Balungi Bosa of Uganda, Looz del Carmen Ibnez Carrenza of Peru, Rene Adelaide Sophie of Benin are Adelaide Sophie Ganso and daughter of Slovenia.According to the State Department, judges Bosa and Ebez Carreenza authorized the ICC investigation into American personnel in Afghanistan. Although the investigation was allowed to proceed at that time, it was later dropped. After assuming office in 2021, Khan announced that he would not carry forward the allegations related to American military or CIA personnel.Meanwhile, Judge Alpini Gansau and Hohr, were part of the panel who authorized the arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yov Galant on the work done during the war in Gaza.Under the restrictions, all American-based assets belonging to four judges should be informed and informed to the Treasury Department. Americans are also banned from doing business with them. Previous restrictions against ICC officials led the complications in banking and international travel, and have resigned by some American employees in the court.The move follows the first sanctions imposed in February, when the US punished ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan for chasing allegations related to the Israeli military operation in Gaza. The sanctions allegedly disrupted the work of Khan’s team.The US and Israel are not members of the ICC and have long opposed the court’s efforts to investigate their officers or military personnel. During the US President Donald TrumpMike Pompeo, former secretary of the first presidential president, imposed a similar sanctions when the court went to Afghanistan to investigate alleged war crimes by American soldiers.The ICC strongly condemned the new sanctions, calling them a “a clear effort” “a clear effort to weaken an institution” that wants to provide justice to the victims of serious crimes. In a statement, the court said that such measures “only embrace people who believe that they can work with impureness.”Established in 1998, the ICC is the top criminal court in the world, prosecuting against war crimes, genocide, crimes against humanity and aggression. The court depends on the member states to implement its decisions, as it has no power to take them out on its own.Rome law, ICC -making Treaty, has been confirmed by 125 countries. However, some of the world’s most powerful nations, including the US, China, Russia, India and Israel, are not parties of the Treaty and do not recognize the rights of the court.He said, “I call countries that still support the ICC, whose freedom was purchased at the expense of great American sacrifices to fight this derogatory attack on our country and Israel,” he said.
