THE International Criminal Court called on its member states today to stand up against US sanctions, saying that President Donald Trump’s action sought to “harm its independent and impartial judicial work.”

“The ICC condemns the issuance by the US of an executive order seeking to impose sanctions on its officials and harm its independent and impartial judicial work,” the court said in a statement.
