Trump impose a ban on entry for ISTGH members - sanctions threaten!

Den Haag, Niederlande - President Donald Trump has made a controversial decision today: members of the International Criminal Court (ICC) are proven with sanctions. According to an official announcement by the US government, a decree was signed that provides for bans on entry against ICC members who are involved in investigations against US citizens or their allies. The family members of these members are also affected by the measures. This could have far -reaching consequences for the international legal community, since it increases the pressure on the Court of Justice, which is already faced with political challenges.

sanctions and arrest warrants

In addition to the entry restrictions, the affected members face financial sanctions. These measures come at a time when the ISTGH deals with serious allegations. The court issued arrest warrants against significant political figures, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Netanyahu is accused of having committed war crimes, while Putin was advertised in the Russian Federation for the search for the alleged deportation of Ukrainian children, as ORF reports.

The USA are not among the 125 states that recognize the ISTGH, which also exacerbates the tensions between Washington and the Court of Justice. The International Criminal Court, which was founded in 2002, specializes in genocide, crimes against humanity, aggression crimes and war crimes. This new development could have a lasting impact on the relationship between the USA and the international judicial authorities, since Trump wants to set a sign against the investigation with the sanctions.
