US EditionTrump's sanctions on ICC prosecutor have halted tribunal's work
- In February 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump imposed sanctions on ICC chief prosecutor Karim Khan, targeting the Hague-based court and its 900 staff members.
- The sanctions followed ICC judges' November 2024 arrest warrants for Israeli leaders Netanyahu and Gallant for alleged war crimes during Israel's Gaza campaign, which Israel denies.
- The sanctions froze Khan's bank accounts, cut his official email by Microsoft forcing a move to Proton Mail, barred ICC staff from U.S. Entry, threatened fines and prison, and caused NGOs to cease cooperation.
- Eric Iverson, an ICC prosecutor investigating Sudan genocide, filed a federal lawsuit seeking protection from sanctions as ongoing investigations stall amid new atrocity reports and staff departures.
- The sanctions have severely disrupted ICC operations, weakening investigations and staff morale, while international legal and human rights figures warn these measures threaten justice and the Court's future.
