U.S. Sanctions Target ICC Associates on Treasury's Designated List

In a significant step, the United States has expanded its special designated nationals sanctions list to include four individuals connected to the International Criminal Court, according to a Treasury Department update on Wednesday.

This move is part of an ongoing effort by the U.S. to apply pressure on specific international entities and individuals linked to contested activities or organizations.

Additionally, the Treasury has issued a general license connected to the International Criminal Court, authorizing the wind-down of transactions involving these newly sanctioned persons, effective August 20.
