The US's Flagrant Attack on International Justice The recent sanctions imposed by the United States government on the International Criminal Court (ICC) are a brazen attempt to undermine the independence and impartiality of an institution that has been instrumental in bringing war criminals to justice.

The US's decision to sanction the ICC's president and trial lawyer comes as no surprise, given the long standing tensions between Washington and The Hague.
