US sanctions ICC as Russia demands surrender of its president

Original: 国際刑事裁判所

The Trump administration has designated the International Criminal Court itself as a sanctions target, according to Japanese news reports. In a separate move, Russian authorities announced they have formally asked the Netherlands and other countries to hand over ICC President Tomoko Akane, the Japanese judge who heads the court. The two actions from Washington and Moscow have put the Hague-based tribunal under simultaneous pressure from major powers and drawn wide attention in Japan, where the ICC's president is Japanese.

Why now: Two major powers, the United States and Russia, took unprecedented punitive action against the International Criminal Court on the same news cycle.
