The Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ISS) Karim Khan, who recently issued a warrant for the arrest of Russian President Vladimir Putin, came under US economic sanctions. This decision was made by US President Donald Trump administration and has become an important step in US sanction policy.
According to Reuters, Karim Khan became the first person to fall under these sanctions. In particular, sanctions provide for freezing of American assets of the persons involved in the list, as well as a ban on entry into the US for them and their families.
This decision indicates a sharp position of the United States on the activities of the International Criminal Court and its prosecutors in the context of investigations into war in Ukraine. Putin's arrest warrant, issued by Khan, has become a significant step in the international legal process aimed at bringing to justice persons involved in military crimes.
