The United States has announced sanctions targeting the International Criminal Court, prompting the Hague-based court to denounce the measure as an 'assault on the rule of law'. The escalation deepens a long-running standoff between Washington and the tribunal, which has pursued cases touching on US allies. Observers are weighing the implications for international justice and the court's ability to function.
Why now: A major power imposing sanctions on the world's permanent war crimes court is an unprecedented escalation in international law and diplomacy.
