According to International Criminal Court (ICC) staff, sanctions imposed by the Trump administration have made it nearly impossible for the court to perform its core functions.

Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan lost access to his Microsoft email and had his bank accounts in the UK blocked.

The sanctions, specifically targeting Khan, have adversely affected the court’s operations, complicating the pursuit of justice for war crime victims.

Trump warned that any financial or technological support for Khan could lead to legal penalties for supporters.
