Netherlands Condemns U.S. Sanctions Against ICC Officials
The Netherlands has criticized the U.S. for imposing sanctions on the head of the International Criminal Court (ICC), with Foreign Minister Stef Blok stating that the Netherlands opposes these sanctions. The U.S. Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, had announced the sanctions as part of America's effort to protect its citizens from the ICC, which the U.S. views as a 'sham court'. The Netherlands, which hosts the ICC in The Hague, supports the court's work and believes that international courts should be able to operate freely.4 sourcesSee all sources
