US Edition'Significant consequences': Trump order may bar Amal Clooney from US
- In February 2025, President Donald Trump issued a directive that placed sanctions on individuals associated with the International Criminal Court, including the British human rights lawyer Amal Clooney.
- The order arose after the ICC issued arrest warrants in November 2024 against Israeli leaders Netanyahu and Gallant for alleged war crimes during Gaza military actions, which Trump labeled illegitimate and baseless.
- The executive order, signed under a 1977 law granting the president authority to restrict assets and entry, targets ICC officials, their staff, and associates, leading to UK warnings for senior barristers—including Amal Clooney—about potential sanctions and travel bans.
- International lawyer Alexandro Maria Tirelli stated that senior British lawyers tied to the ICC could face U.S. Sanctions and travel bans, with the order warning of "tangible and significant consequences," such as asset blocking and entry suspension.
- The sanctions signify potential travel and financial restrictions on ICC personnel and affiliates, suggesting heightened U.S. Opposition to the court’s actions and risks for lawyers like Clooney who assist ICC investigations.
