US-Palestinian advocacy group condemns Trump administration's sanctions on ICC officials

A US-Palestinian advoacy group has condemned the Trump administration's decision to sanction ICC judges and prosecutors as a "disgrace."

"When the US punishes judges for daring to pursue justice for Palestinian victims, it confirms what so many of us already fear — that international law doesn’t apply to the powerful, regardless of the gravity of their crimes,"  Sandra Tamari, Executive Director of Adalah Justice Project, told Middle East Eye. 
 
“Palestinians turned to the ICC because every other door was slammed in our faces. And now, even that door is being torched. These sanctions are not just political; they are moral failure. If genocide and apartheid can't even be investigated without retaliation, then what justice is left for our people?” she added.
