ICC judge on what U.S. sanctions mean for her and global courts

The International Criminal Court (ICC) judge Kimberly Prost explained the implications of the US sanctions on her and global courts. The US imposed sanctions on top ICC officials, including Prost, in response to ICC investigations into US war crimes and crimes against humanity in Afghanistan. The sanctions restrict US-based activities and transactions with the ICC officials. Prost stated that the sanctions will not affect her ability to perform her duties as a judge, as the ICC operates in The Hague, Netherlands, and most of her work is done there. She expressed concern about the impact on the ICC's ability to work with US-based organizations and individuals, potentially hindering investigations and prosecutions. Prost emphasized the importance of cooperation between the ICC and other countries, including the US.
