US Sanctions ICC After Former Judge Wins Nobel Peace Prize

The Trump administration imposed sanctions on the International Criminal Court on Friday, hours after former ICC judge Navi Pillay won the Nobel Peace Prize. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the US would ban transactions with the "rogue court," but the Treasury issued exemptions for telecommunications, software, and pension payments. ICC Deputy Prosecutor Nazhat Shameem Khan condemned the sanctions, vowing the tribunal's work will continue.
