The move comes amid U.S. anger over ICC arrest warrants for Israeli officials, including Netanyahu, and a previous investigation into U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio called the ICC a โrogue courtโ and warned: โEither the ICC will end its threats, or we will end the ICC.โ He urged U.S. allies to pressure the court into meeting Washingtonโs demands.
The sanctions were announced hours after former ICC judge Navi Pillay won the Nobel Peace Prize for her work in international criminal justice.
