Japan angered as Russia seeks extradition of ICC prosecutor targeted by US
Original: Unintended consequences of the US rejection of international law under the trump regime finally catching up — I guess we
Japan has voiced anger after Russia moved to extradite an International Criminal Court prosecutor who has previously been targeted by US sanctions. Commentators note the irony that Washington's rejection of the ICC under the Trump administration has weakened the court's protection, and warn that the episode signals closer alignment between the US and Putin's Russia on international legal norms.
Why now: A US ally is confronting Russian extradition demands against a prosecutor Washington itself sanctioned, highlighting US-Russia alignment and erosion of international law.
