June 2025: TRUMP PRESIDENCY Rubio Imposes Sanctions on ICC Judges for Illegitimate Targeting of U.S., Israel

Rubio Imposes Sanctions on ICC Judges for Illegitimate Targeting of U.S., Israel

"Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced last week that the U.S. would impose sanctions on four judges of the International Criminal Court (ICC) for targeting the U.S. and Israel. Rubio said (original emphasis):
"Today, I am designating Solomy Balungi Bossa of Uganda, Luz del Carmen Ibáñez Carranza 

of Peru, Reine Adelaide Sophie Alapini Gansou of Benin, and Beti Hohler of Slovenia pursuant to President Trump’s Executive Order 14203, “Imposing Sanctions on the International Criminal Court.” These individuals directly engaged in efforts by the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate, arrest, detain, or prosecute nationals of the United States or Israel, without consent from the United States or Israel. Neither the United States nor Israel is party to the Rome Statute.
As ICC judges, these four individuals have actively engaged in the ICC’s illegitimate and baseless actions targeting America or our close ally, Israel. The ICC is politicized and falsely claims unfettered discretion to investigate, charge, and prosecute nationals of the United States and our allies. This dangerous assertion and abuse of power infringes upon the sovereignty and national security of the United States and our allies, including Israel."
