Judge sanctioned over ICC case against Israel says US blacklist cuts him off from daily life

Judge sanctioned over ICC case against Israel says US blacklist cuts him off from daily life

A French judge who helped issue an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu says US sanctions have locked him out of the modern financial system-he can't use bank cards, book travel, or order online. He warns this threatens judicial independence globally, as judges might fear sanctions if they pursue cases like the ICC's Gaza war crimes warrants. France has urged the US to lift the sanctions, but no resolution yet. https://www.trtworld.com/article/817e62ce943b

Shows the reach of US power. They can just cut you off from everything.

If judges can’t act without fear, the whole system is a joke.

A clear message to anyone who dares challenge them. Scary precedent.

He did what he had to. Now he’s paying the price for seeking justice. Solidarity from here.

This is terrifying. Sanctioning a judge for doing his job? How is this not an attack on the rule of law worldwide?
