Human Rights Groups File Lawsuit Against Trump Administration's ICC Sanctions

The lawsuit, submitted in the Southern District of New York, argues that the sanctions undermine the prosecution of war crimes and represent an illegal attack on international justice.
The plaintiffs assert that the sanctions have forced them to limit their human rights work, impacting their ability to pursue justice for grave crimes.
