International Criminal Court officials sanctioned by US

Does Trump sanction Putin for poisoning his political rivals or messing with out election AGAIN? Hell no - That's off the table as we all know. Here's the latest international agency/ agreement messed with by Donald Trump. He hates them all without exception.

The US has imposed sanctions on senior officials in the International Criminal Court (ICC), including chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda.​

​

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo accused the court of "illegitimate attempts to subject Americans to its jurisdiction".​

​

The Hague-based ICC is currently investigating whether US forces committed war crimes in Afghanistan.​

​

The US has criticised the court since its foundation and is one of a dozen states which have not signed up.​

​

Balkees Jarrah, senior counsel at the non-governmental organisation Human Rights Watch, condemned the sanctions as a "shameful new low for US commitments to justice for victims of the worst crimes".​

​

Mr Pompeo's move marked a "stunning perversion of US sanctions, devised to penalize rights abusers and kleptocrats, to target those prosecuting war crimes", she tweeted.​

​

Created by a UN treaty in 2002, the ICC investigates and brings to justice those responsible for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes, intervening when national authorities cannot or will not prosecute.​

What's good about it exactly - You for human rights abuses and war crimes? Sounds like it. Like Trump, you hate anything and everything not created by Trump or containing the word "International". Sad

Really worried about memes, aren't you?

America isn't part of the ICC, and furthermore, Uncle Pooty has never been convicted of any crime of poisoning anyone by the ICC.

So what does that have to do with anything?

Is Biden going to put America into the ICC? Is he going to insist Putin be tried and convicted by them?

very sad that YOU exists. The ICC has conducted itself with the same level of "HUMAN RIGHTS" activity as has the USA democratic party in the past 10 years. ie ----IT STINKS. YOU support
HUMAN rights as do the BLM murderers, vandals and looters
