Biden Administration Ends Sanctions Against ICC Officials
(Wall Street Journal) Jessica Donati - The Biden administration on Friday rescinded economic sanctions and visa restrictions against two senior officials of the International Criminal Court. The State Department said that the U.S., which isn't a party to the International Criminal Court, continues to object to its efforts to investigate the U.S. for its actions in Afghanistan, and Israel for its treatment of Palestinians. American elected officials from both parties have long been wary of the court because of the potential to prosecute American officials for military operations.
