Nobel Peace Prize winner Navi Pillay hits out at US sanctions on ICC

Navi Pillay, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, has spoken out against the US imposing new sanctions on the International Criminal Court. This move by the White House is seen as a significant escalation of tensions between the US and the ICC, which investigates war crimes and human rights abuses. The sanctions could have far-reaching implications for global justice and the rule of law, potentially undermining international cooperation and the ability of the ICC to hold perpetrators accountable.

Why it matters

The US has imposed fresh sanctions on the International Criminal Court, just days after the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Navi Pillay. This escalation could worsen relations between the US and other countries that support the ICC.
