Overview

  • Secretary of State Marco Rubio named judges Gocha Lordkipanidze of Georgia and Erdenebalsuren Damdin of Mongolia for sanctions that can include U.S. asset freezes and travel bans.
  • The State Department cited the judges’ roles in efforts to investigate, arrest, detain or prosecute Israelis, including their votes backing a December 15 decision that kept the Gaza probe moving forward.
  • The International Criminal Court condemned the move as a blatant attack on judicial independence and said it will continue its mandate impartially.
  • The step extends a Trump administration campaign that previously sanctioned the ICC’s former chief prosecutor and nine members of judicial and support staff.
  • Peruvian ICC judge Luz Ibáñez says she has been sanctioned by the United States, had her U.S. visa canceled while working in Mali, and has faced punitive actions from Russia after ICC measures related to Vladimir Putin.
