The US has imposed sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC). This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Reuters.
According to Reuters, the sanctions were announced hours after a former ICC judge won the Nobel Prize.
The decision is regarded as a significant development in the field of international law. US sanctions measures against the International Criminal Court had previously been the subject of discussion at the international level.
Details about the specific content of these sanctions and which individuals or entities they target have not yet been published.
The International Criminal Court is a permanent international judicial body that hears serious crimes under international law, including genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.
As reported by the Reuters source, the decision coincided with the announcement of the Nobel Prize. The time gap between the awarding of the Nobel Prize to the former judge and the US sanctions decision was only a few hours.
Further information on the development of events and the reaction of the international community is awaited.
