Imposing Sanctions on the International Criminal Court

What it means

This order imposes sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC) for investigating U.S. and Israeli personnel. It blocks property and suspends U.S. entry for ICC officials involved in prosecuting Americans or allies without their countries' consent, declaring these actions a national emergency.

Expected impact

• Strained relations with countries that support the ICC and international legal institutions
• Protection for U.S. and Israeli officials from ICC prosecution
• Potential criticism from human rights organizations and allies committed to international justice
• Reinforcement of U.S. position that it's not subject to ICC jurisdiction without consent
• Possible diplomatic isolation in forums supporting international criminal justice
