International Criminal Court awarded Sakharov Prize despite US sanctions

The European Parliament has awarded its top human rights prize, the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought, to the International Criminal Court. Parliament president Roberta Metsola announced the decision, and the court's president thanked the assembly. The award is widely read as a show of support for the court after Washington imposed sanctions on it over its work, and as a reaffirmation of international justice at a tense moment.
Why now: The prize is seen as a symbolic European rebuke to Trump's sanctions on the ICC.
