The Trump administration has accused the International Criminal Court (ICC) of “politicised actions” and of “targeting Israel” after it issued an arrest warrant for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu relating to the war in Gaza.
ICC President Tomoko Akane of Japan warned on Friday against “the demise of international rule of law” after the United States targeted her with sanctions, according to EuroNews.
“The sanction against me this time was something I had anticipated to an extent, so I’m not surprised,” Akane said in a statement released on X by her publisher Bungei Shunju.
“The important thing is not to let this be the beginning of the demise of international rule of law.”
