US-Palestinian advocacy group condemns Trump administration's sanctions on ICC officials

A US-Palestinian advocacy group, the Adalah Justice Project, has condemned the Trump administration's decision to sanction International Criminal Court (ICC) judges and prosecutors as a "disgrace." The group's executive director, Sandra Tamari, stated that punishing judges for pursuing justice for Palestinian victims confirms fears that international law does not apply to the powerful. She noted that Palestinians turned to the ICC after other avenues for justice were closed. Tamari questioned what justice is left for Palestinians if investigating potential genocide and apartheid results in retaliation.
