Three prominent judges from the International Criminal Court have officially sued US President Donald Trump in a New York court over harsh sanctions imposed against them. These specific judges were deeply involved in investigating high-profile war crimes in Afghanistan and Palestine.
The lawsuit argues that Trump's executive order vastly exceeded his legal presidential authority and directly contradicts established international laws. The severe sanctions have caused asset freezes, strict travel bans, and financial limitations for these top officials of the global judicial body.
This marks the first time ICC judges have directly filed a lawsuit against a sitting US president's executive order. Leading human rights organizations have strongly condemned Washington's actions, describing them as an unprecedented attack on judicial independence worldwide.
