The EU is asked to intervene as US sanctions deal a fresh blow to the ICC.

Fresh US sanctions will curb the International Criminal Court (ICC) capacity to work.

Now, Slovenia and Belgium are leading a call for the bloc's executive to activate the "blocking statute" against the newest US sanctions against the ICC. Slovenian judge Beti Hohler is among those on Washington's blacklist.

It should be clear by now that the US does not respect international justice or international law. Not only that, but it has blatantly worked against any semblance of global justice in this case and many, many others. The US is on its own side and that of the US-based corporations it represents. And, frankly, it's long past the time that it be held to accoutn as a nation with a long record opposing human rights and democracy.

The #sanctions require all property & interests owned by the #judges in the #US to be blocked & reported to the #Treasury dept.

#Netanyahu thanked #MarcoRubio & #Trump for the intervention, saying they had "stood up for the right of Israel".

Rubio accused the judges of "illegitimate & baseless actions" targeting #Israel & the #US.

He also described the #ICC as “politicized” & said it “falsely claims unfettered discretion”to investigate nationals of the US & its allies.
