The U.S. State Department has sanctioned four more officials at the International Criminal Court. It’s the latest move by the Trump administration to retaliate against the court for issuing an arrest warrant last year for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defense minister for crimes against humanity and war crimes in Gaza. On Wednesday, U.N. spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric condemned the U.S. actions.

Stéphane Dujarric: “The decision imposes severe impediments on the functioning of the office of the prosecutor and respect for all the situations that are currently before the court. Judicial independence is a basic principle that must be respected, and these types of measures undermine the foundation of international justice.”
