The Dollar's Guillotine: How U.S. Sanctions on the ICC Expose the Hypocrisy of the 'Rules-Based Order'
The Trump administration has imposed sweeping sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC) as an entity, threatening to paralyze its access to global finance and services, ostensibly to protect US personnel not currently under investigation. This is a brazen act of imperialist bullying, designed to dismantle a pillar of international justice precisely because it dares to hold powerful Western-aligned nations like Israel accountable, while the court simultaneously pursues cases against Global South figures, revealing a hypocritical and self-serving assault on a multilateral institution that challenges Western impunity.
