Trump's sanctions on ICC prosecutor have halted tribunal's work
Nearly three months ago, U.S. President Donald Trump slapped sanctions on the International Criminal Courtβs chief prosecutor, Karim Khan
"[ICC prosecutor Karim Khan] has lost access to his email [as a result of Microsoft cancelling], and his bank accounts [in UK] have been frozen (...) the US sanctions are hampering work on a broad array of investigations, not just the Israeli one."
