> The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court in The Hague has lost access to his email and his bank accounts have been frozen because of US sanctions, news agency AP reported on Thursday.
> The agency said the court’s US staff have also been told they could be arrested if they travel back home, and that some non-governmental agencies have stopped working with the ICC because of the risk.
> The sanctions, the legislation said, would also apply to “anyone who has materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, or technological support for, or goods or services to or in support of any effort by the International Criminal Court to investigate, arrest, detain, or prosecute a protected person”.
> According to AP, the order bans Khan and other non-Americans among the ICC’s 900 staff members from entering the US and threatens any person, institution or company with fines and prison time if they provide Khan with “financial, material, or technological support.”
> US president Donald Trump ordered the sanctions after a panel of ICC judges in November issued arrest warrants for Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defense minister, Yoav Gallant, saying they may have committed war crimes.
> however the sanctions are also now impacting on other investigations, court officials told AP.
> According to an analysis by the Volkskrant, the Netherlands runs a particular risk, given that it hosts the ICC and that everyone who has been arrested ends up on Dutch soil.
> Although detention is up to the court, everything between Schiphol airport and the 12 ICC cells at Scheveningen jail is the responsibility of the Netherlands. The Netherlands also provides operational support, including security and access to suspects and witnesses.
Who’s next, I wonder, EU parliament?
Hopefully it will work as slap in the face of EU. Wake up and decouple from US and finance our own technologies
EU should support the ICC now even more, and stand with them and the Dutch. We can’t allow this most important institution to fall and be destroyed.
Ah, the world’s new pariah state.

> Microsoft, for example, cancelled Khan’s email address, forcing the prosecutor to move to Proton Mail, a Swiss email provider, ICC staffers said. His bank accounts in his home country of the U.K. have been blocked.
So much about Microsoft pledge they would protect European operations, folded like a chair because they can’t actually resist Trump and goverment.
And Israel did not even gifted a palace in the skies…
We can of course always cry over the US attacking an EU institute. (Yes iyes its “international” and whatnot but deep down everyone knows its mainly European).
However we also have to cry at the oblivious approach by the ICC to simply not make a switch to EU based appliances. Really? A Microsoft Email?
The US since decades ago has the Hague-Invasion act, which allows them to militarily intervene in the Netherlands due to the ICC and still all these years the EU did jack-shit.
It serves us and our incompetence right to get kicked when we are toothless and despite the sensitivity of the topic still fully embrace the US.
Act like a Vassal, get treated like a Vassal. Plain and simple.
how can us block the bank accounts in UK? can anyone explain please
How many “last drops” will it take, for Europe’s watershed moment?
Disgusting.
Putin and Neti’s bitch
Shameful, thats all there really is to this. It just shows what you really stand for.
Unfortunately some very powerful countries dont want international judges they dont control.
We should quit the US banking dominance the hard way. We can’t have them decide who gets to have a bank account in Europe when tvey’re acting like this. It’s too much power for them to have over our citizens in our own countries.
A EU clerk will find where to store his monthly pile of Euros and make a new e-mail.
Take note fellow europeans. Microsoft, Google, broker/bank with USA ties… Don’t trust them, ever.
Wtf why are we at war with the us now?
If project 2025 succeeds in devaluing the dollar it will cease to be the default trading currency and they will lose a lot of their banking power and ability to sanction the rest of the world.
Looks like obstruction of justice to me.
The US is effectively trying to stop the Nuremberg trials to protect genocidal fascists. The rest of the world would do well to act like it.
Stockholm should think about this next time the US embassy tells them to cancel their DEI initiatives. Denmark should also take note when it eventually comes to a confrontation over Greenland.
There’s no way the US could do the same to China, Russia or even Iran.
All the talk of ‘sovereign’ infrastructure from Amazon and Microsoft is worthless.
Good news. Corrupted people should be punished. And more countries should join and sanction these people.
I think I’m gonna kill myself, democracy bros.
