Report: ICC deputy prosecutor says court has insulated itself against US sanctions

Deputy prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Nazhat Shameem Khan, has said that the court has insulated itself against potential court-wide sanctions from the US, according to the Financial Times. “The law must prevail over power,” Khan told the newspaper. The prospect of more US sanctions comes after Trump told the UN General Assembly this week that the ICC was “out of control” and an “evil group of people”, calling on the court’s member states to resign from the institution immediately.
