Trump administration sanctions Canadian judge who sits on International Criminal Court
CBC ^ | 08/20/2025

The Trump administration slapped a Canadian judge on the International Criminal Court (ICC) with sanctions as the U.S. State Department unleashes a new wave of restrictions against judges it said had been instrumental in a past decision to investigate U.S. officials and in efforts to prosecute Israeli leaders.

The State Department says Judge Kimberly Prost of Canada was sanctioned for ruling to authorize the ICC's investigation into U.S. personnel in Afghanistan.

ICC jurists Nicolas Guillou of France, Nazhat Shameem Khan of Fiji and Mame Mandiaye Niang of Senegal were also sanctioned, with the State Department linking the decision to the tribunal's investigation into Israel's actions in Gaza and the Israeli-occupied West Bank. As a result of the sanctions, any assets they hold in U.S. jurisdictions are frozen.

The court said on Wednesday that it deplored the sanctions, calling them "a flagrant attack against the independence of an impartial judicial institution which operates under the mandate from 125 [countries] from all regions.

"They constitute also an affront against [these countries], the rules-based international order and, above all, millions of innocent victims across the world," the statement continued. "The ICC will continue fulfilling its mandates, undeterred, in strict accordance with its legal framework as adopted by the States Parties and without regard to any restriction, pressure or threat."

“As a result of the sanctions, any assets they hold in U.S. jurisdictions are frozen.”

So if the sanctioned don’t hold assets in U.S. jurisdictions the sanctions don’t mean much?

Back in the day, “sanctioned” as verb meant “to approve of,”
The USCF sanctioned the tournament.

but as a noun meant “disapproval:” slapped sanctions, imposed sanctions, etc.

Payback time. The ICC is illegitimate.

Jeez, two of them could easily be considered trannys. The pantsuit is doing a better job of looking somewhat real, at least.

I wouldn’t let these three clowns judge a pie-eating contest.
