THE International Criminal Court has condemned the latest US sanctions targeting its senior staff as a “flagrant attack” on the global tribunal’s independence, and vowed to continue seeking justice for atrocities around the world.
The State Department announced on Tuesday that it had hit ICC president Tomoko Akane, a Japanese national, and senior trial lawyer Abdoulaye Seye, from Senegal, with sanctions that freeze any assets they have in US jurisdictions or come into contact with the American financial system.
