Trump has coveted that prize for himself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe will ban transactions with this rogue court, cutting off their resources and crippling its ability to operate against us,\u201d Rubio said in a video address posted to social media. \u201cThe United States and the American people are not subject to the jurisdiction of this fake ICC.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sanctions cut the court off from U.S.-based financial services, technology companies and even using U.S. dollars. They set a six-month timeline for U.S. companies and individuals that have business with the court to wind that business down.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ICC denounced the step as an attack on the rule of law and the foundations of international order, themes that Rubio had appeared to embrace only two days ago in a speech in front of the Acropolis in Athens.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt is an attempt to obstruct the course of justice and to prevent the court from doing what it was created to do,\u201d the court said in a statement. \u201cIt is an assault on the rule of law and on the very foundations of the international legal order which strikes at the simple principle that no one stands above the law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ICC President Tomoko Akane, a citizen of U.S. ally Japan, said the court would \u201ccontinue to fully discharge its mandate, with independence and impartiality, acting only on the basis of the law and the evidence, for the sake of the countless victims of grave crimes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She also appealed to other ICC members for support. \u201cThis is not just about defending a single institution, but about safeguarding the international order grounded upon the rule of law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rights groups also denounced the sanctions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis existential attack must fail,\u201d said Erika Guevara Rosas, an Amnesty International senior director. \u201cStates must take concrete action to resist the imposition of these measures and actively protect the Court.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The court\u2019s host country of the Netherlands has been preparing for weeks for the move. One possible measure to mitigate sanctions is the EU \u201cblocking statute,\u201d which could be used to protect European court staff by preventing European companies from complying with the U.S. measures. Dutch Foreign Minister Tom Berendsen has called the blocking statute the \u201cnuclear option\u201d in countering possible sanctions, but said the Netherlands has been in talks with the European Commission to ensure that if it is necessary it can be quickly enacted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a joint statement, Canada, Denmark, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom expressed strong disagreement with the U.S. sanctions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe will continue to work together to support the court\u2019s vital work, uphold the rules-based international system, and advance accountability,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf put into effect, these sanctions will have a significant impact on the court\u2019s work, its dedicated staff and their families. They work every day to bring those accused of the most serious international crimes to justice and to support their victims.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rubio said U.S. allies should join in the U.S. actions. \u201cIf they do not, the United States will continue its campaign to dismantle the ICC, piece by piece, until Americans are threatened no longer,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A number of countries have withdrawn from the court this year, including Venezuela and Chad. The South Pacific island nation of Naoero was the most recent to announce it would quit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">___<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Quell reported from The Hague, Netherlands.
