U.S. slams 4 ICC judges; Duterte allies cheer
The United States has imposed sanctions on four International Criminal Court (ICC) judges, barring them from entering the US and freezing any assets they hold within the US economy.
The sanctions, enacted under a revived executive order originally signed by former US President Donald Trump in 2020, target judges involved in key rulings concerning US and Israeli officials, and notably, Judge Beti Hohler was involved in former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's case.
The ICC has denounced these sanctions, stating that targeting those working for accountability will only embolden those who believe they can act with impunity.
A pro-Duterte group in the Philippines views these sanctions as the start of a "global reckoning" for those pursuing Duterte's prosecution for alleged crimes against humanity.
The sanctioned judges include Carmen Ibáñez Carranza of Peru, Reine Adelaide Sophie Alapini Gansou of Benin, Beti Hohler of Slovenia, and Solomy Balungi Bossa of Uganda.
