‘This Is An Attack On Justice…’ UN BLASTS US Sanctions On ICC Judges Amid Netanyahu’s Probe

The UN’s top human rights official, Volker Türk, has strongly condemned U.S. sanctions on four ICC judges as “deeply corrosive” to international justice. These judges, who ruled on cases involving alleged war crimes by U.S. forces in Afghanistan and arrest warrants against Israeli leaders, now face sanctions from the Biden administration. Türk warned that targeting international judges for executing their duties endangers the rule of law. The EU has backed the ICC, vowing to counter these sanctions and defend the court’s independence from political pressure. #ICC #USSanctions #UN #VolkerTürk #InternationalJustice #Netanyahu #AfghanistanWarCrimes #RuleOfLaw #HumanRights #EU #GlobalJustice #ICCJUDGES #GazaInvestigation #SanctionsBacklash #TrumpSanctions #USvsICC #InternationalLaw #WarCrimesAccountability #JusticeSystem #LegalIndependence Also Read Women's Cricket World Cup Schedule: ICC Announces Match Dates, Venues; Pakistan Matches In Colombo :: https://www.oneindia.com/sports/cricket/womens-cricket-world-cup-schedule-icc-announces-match-dates-venues-pakistan-matches-in-colombo-4170415.html?ref=DMDesc Shreyas Iyer Wins ICC Award For His Valuable Contribution In Champions Trophy 2025 :: https://www.oneindia.com/sports/cricket/shreyas-iyer-wins-icc-award-for-his-valuable-contribution-in-champions-trophy-2025-4124361.html?ref=DMDesc Pakistan Cricketers Face Another Setback as All Fifty Players Go Unsold in the Hundred Draft :: https://www.oneindia.com/sports/cricket/pakistan-cricketers-face-another-setback-as-all-fifty-players-go-unsold-in-the-hundred-draft-4094855.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.336~
