United States of America/ Recent targeting of legal professionals by the US Government
“On 6 February 2025, the US President signed an executive order imposing sanctions on International Criminal Court (ICC) personnel and their immediate family members. (…)
The executive order states that “tangible and significant consequences” will be imposed on ICC officials, which could include the blocking of property and assets, as well as the suspension of entry into the United States of ICC officials, employees, and agents, as well as their immediate family members.”
“The undersigned organisations are dismayed by the recent actions by the US government targeting legal professionals at both the international and domestic levels, which violate international human rights law and undermine the rule of law.”
