ICC calls US sanctions ‘flagrant attack’ against court’s independence

-

AMSTERDAM, ​Dec 18 (Reuters) - The International Criminal Court (ICC) said ⁠on Thursday that U.S. sanctions against two ‍of its judges over ​its case involving Israel were a "flagrant attack" on ​the court’s independence.

"Such measures targeting judges and prosecutors who were elected by ‌the States Parties undermine ‌the rule of law. ​When judicial actors are threatened for applying ‌the law, it is ⁠the international legal ‌order itself ​that is placed at risk," the court ⁠said.
