Aug. 20 (UPI) -- U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has sanctioned four more members of the International Criminal Court for attempts to investigate, arrest, detain or prosecute individuals in non-member states.
ICC Judges Kimberly Prost of Canada and Nicolas Guillou or France and deputy prosecutors Nazhat Shameem Khan of Fiji and Mame Mandiaye Niang of Senegal are subject to U.S. sanctions, Rubio announced in a State Department release on Wednesday.
"The United States has been clear and steadfast in our opposition to the ICC's politicization, abuse of power, disregard for our national sovereignty and illegitimate judicial overreach," Rubio said.
"The court is a national security threat that has been an instrument of lawfare against the United States and our close ally Israel."
