UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk on Friday expressed deep concern over the US government’s decision to sanction four judges of the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Turk stated that targeting judges for carrying out their duties undermines the rule of law and the administration of justice. He called on the US to reverse the sanctions immediately, according to UN News.
The Trump administration imposed the sanctions in response to ICC investigations into alleged war crimes involving Israeli officials and US personnel.
