ICC head warns against ‘demise of international rule of law’ after US sanctions

International Criminal Court President Tomoko Akane of Japan warns against “the demise of international rule of law” after she was hit by US sanctions.

“The sanction against me this time was something I had anticipated to an extent, so I’m not surprised,” Akane says in a statement released on X by her publisher Bungei Shunju.

“The important thing is not to let this be the beginning of the demise of international rule of law.”
