US government sanctions the International Criminal Court
In February 2025 the US government imposed sanctions on the International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor Karim Khan and members of his staff, in an effort to intimidate the court and coerce them into halting their investigations into Israel’s war crimes and genocide against Palestinians.[1] They have closed email addresses, frozen bank accounts and impeded travel.
We can now see how the US and European governments have used and manipulated international institutions to do their bidding and to maintain global hegemony to the detriment of the rest of the world. The ICC itself is not innocent - for when it has been convenient, it has been a tool that serves Western Imperialism. As we can see by the fact that the vast majority of those prosecuted by the ICC have been African. This demonstrates the racist focus of the court which is steered by Western interests - and reflects the very same racism that disproportionately jails non-white people in Western countries.
Perhaps some will now take note of the illegal 63-year US blockade and sanctions against Cuba. How they have crippled the Cuban economy, blocked UN resolutions and intimidate and sanction those who attempt to assist this small Caribbean Island from their intimidation and abuse. You can now clearly see for yourselves by the US’s actions against the ICC, by its complicity in the genocide in Gaza and devastating effects of its policy towards Cuba - that despite all of the Hollywood make-up and the Marvel movie franchise propaganda that has conditioned generations to believe in the fictional battle of good against evil, driven by the United States - that the US has never been the good guy. It was all a lie.
How many people had to die in Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, Somalia, Lebanon, Libya, Syria and now Palestine; how many had to die before them in Chile, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Panama, Grenada; how many had to die before them in Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos - for us to come to this realisation?
Where were the sanctimonious Western crusaders of justice and human rights - the defenders of democracy, the champions of free speech and equality that called themselves the International Community - where were they when all these crimes were being committed?
