Al-Baradei on US sanctions against ICC
The article discusses the escalation of U.S. hostility toward the International Criminal Court. Washington announced new sanctions against the tribunal, which was established to hold perpetrators of war crimes and crimes against humanity accountable and has been pursuing international justice since 2002. Although the Court condemned the United States' actions and considered them an assault on the rule of law, foreign ministers from Canada, Germany, France, and other countries reaffirmed their continued support for the Court, condemning Washington's measures aimed at "paralyzing" its work. Former Egyptian vice president Mohamed ElBaradei expressed his surprise at America’s claim that the sanctions were justified by threats from the Court, noting that U.S. forces, as in Iraq, enjoy immunity from the international justice system—raising questions about the rogue nature of the United States in this context.
