A US District Judge has blocked Trump Sanctions against lawyers of Human Rights

A US district judge issued a preliminary injunction on Monday. It will block sanctions by the Trump administration against human rights lawyers for supporting the work of the International Criminal Court (ICC). President Donald Trump had authorized sanctions and visa restrictions on the personnel of the ICC in June 2020. It was investigating alleged war crimes in Afghanistan by both US and Afghan forces alongside a probe into crimes against humanity by the Taliban. The order had noted that anyone who has directly engaged in any effort by the ICC to investigate, arrest, detain, or prosecute any US personnel without the consent of the US, may be subject to the new sanctions. The injunction was issued by the US district judge Katherine Polk Failla in Manhattan in a case filed in October 2020 by the Open Society Justice Initiative (OSJI).http://www.vindulacms.com/a-us-district-judge-has-blocked-trump-sanctions-against-lawyers-of-human-rights/
