EU chooses diplomacy over blocking statute to shield ICC from Trump sanctions
Original: EU bets on diplomacy, not blocking statute, to protect ICC from Trump sanctions
The European Union is relying on diplomatic pressure rather than its blocking statute to protect International Criminal Court officials from US sanctions imposed under Donald Trump. Washington has sanctioned court staff over investigations targeting the US and its allies, prompting debate in Brussels over how to respond.
Why now: Fresh US sanctions against the ICC have forced the EU to decide how to shield the court, and its choice of diplomacy over legal countermeasures is drawing attention.
