トランプ政権はICCが米国の兵士を訴追対象にする恐れがあるとして反発してきており、過去に検察官や裁判官への制裁を繰り返してきた。今回の制裁は、ネタニヤフ首相への逮捕状発付やガザ攻撃を巡る戦争犯罪疑惑への批判を背景としている。
【ワシントン時事】米政府は9日、国際刑事裁判所(ICC、本部オランダ・ハーグ)本体を制裁対象に指定した。ICC判事などを歴任したナビ・ピレイ元国連人権高等弁務官のノーベル平和賞受賞決定から数時間後に発表した。「米国の主権に脅威をもたらしている」とICCを非難するトランプ政権が、圧力をさらに強めた形だ。

ICCは、戦争犯罪などを犯した個人を裁く常設の国際裁判所。トランプ政権は、ICCが管轄権のない米国の兵士らを訴追対象にする恐れがあることに反発してきた。ルビオ国務長官は声明で「ICCが脅しをやめるか、われわれがICCを終わらせるかだ」と強調し、「解体」も辞さない構えを示した。
今回の制裁で、ICCは米企業との取引を禁止され、ドル建て決済から締め出される。業務に支障を来しかねないが、180日の猶予期間を設け、組織運営維持に関わる活動を認める。国務省は猶予期間について、加盟国が米国の懸念を解消するための時間を確保するためのものだとしている。
トランプ大統領は9月22日、国連総会の一般討論演説で、ICCについて、制御不能な「ならず者機関」と指弾。加盟国に対して直ちに脱退するよう呼び掛けていた。日本を含む同盟国への働き掛けを強める可能性もある。
トランプ氏は、ICCが過去に米兵の戦争犯罪捜査を容認したことや、パレスチナ自治区ガザ攻撃を巡る戦争犯罪の疑いでイスラエルのネタニヤフ首相への逮捕状を発付したことを批判。第2次トランプ政権は昨年1月の発足以降、ICCの検察官や裁判官らに次々と制裁を科し、今年8月には赤根智子所長も対象としていた。

On the 9th, the US government designated the International Criminal Court (ICC) as a target of sanctions. The Trump administration accused the ICC of threatening U.S. sovereignty, and the sanctions barred the ICC from doing business with U.S. companies and excluded it from dollar-denominated payments, but a 180-day grace period was set in place.

US President Trump spoke by phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin and announced that Russia had agreed to immediately supply more than 300,000 tons of diesel oil to the US and international markets.

Russia will supply 500,000 tons by the end of November this year, and an additional 1 million tons thereafter, and will deliver another 3 million tons based on the operational status of its oil refinery facilities.

One year has passed since the start of the Israeli army's military operations in the Gaza Strip, and even after a ceasefire was agreed, the Israeli army continues to occupy about 70% of the area, making no progress in reconstruction, and the remaining 30% of the population, about 2 million people, are forced to live in tents. Akihiro Kiyota, director of UNRWA's Health Department, expressed a sense of crisis in Gaza, saying, ``Gaza is no longer a place where people can live,'' as medical shortages and sanitary conditions continue to worsen, and malnutrition and infectious diseases remain unresolved.
