The United States has imposed sanctions on four additional judges and prosecutors from the International Criminal Court, including officials from France and Canada. The move is part of an ongoing effort to challenge the tribunal's investigations into alleged crimes committed by nationals of the United States and Israel, actions which Washington claims were undertaken without its consent. Among those targeted is Judge Nicolas Guillou of France, who presides over a case involving an arrest warrant for the Israeli Prime Minister, and Canadian Judge Kimberly Prost, who authorized an investigation into alleged war crimes in Afghanistan. The sanctions include travel bans and asset freezes, measures typically reserved for adversaries rather than allies. The United States has consistently rejected the authority of the court, which is supported by most European democracies.
