US Executive Order Targets ICC: Prohibits Transactions, Restricts Dollar Access

The US has issued a directive prohibiting American companies from engaging in transactions with the International Criminal Court, including banks, insurers, and software providers, and restricting the court's access to dollars under Treasury general licenses. This escalates US opposition to the ICC, potentially undermining the court's operations and signaling a broader geopolitical rift over international justice. The scope of enforcement and impact on ICC functions remain uncertain.
