LONDON, October 3. /TASS/. The United States is preparing to announce the imposition of sweeping sanctions against the International Criminal Court (ICC), The Times reported.

According to the article, the new restrictions are expected to target both the court, based in The Hague, "as well as entities that co-operate with it."

The measures under consideration would mean that "no company or supplier would be able to do business with the ICC without the risk of being sanctioned themselves," the newspaper says.

Supporters of the court fear this could lead to its dissolution, The Times reports. The publication quotes a European diplomat who described the US actions as "bad news for anyone who supports prosecuting war criminals."

The current US administration has already imposed sanctions against the ICC on several occasions. US President Donald Trump signed an executive order imposing restrictions on court officials on February 6, 2025. The US government has accused the ICC of wrongful actions against Washington and its allies, such as Israel.

Grossi announced his intention to act independently if appointed UN Secretary General

IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said in an interview with RIA Novosti that if appointed UN Secretary General, he intends to act independently and be guided by the organization’s Charter, emphasizing that he adheres to the same principle as head of the IAEA. He noted that independence and one’s own position are the essence of the work of the head of any international organization. The UN Security Council holds a secret preliminary vote to select a candidate for the post of Secretary General, who is then recommended to the General Assembly. According to the source, after the fourth indicative vote, former Vice President of Costa Rica Rebeca Greenspan is in the lead. Also named among the contenders are Carolyn Rodriguez-Birkett from Guyana, Maria Fernanda Espinosa from Ecuador, Macky Sall from Senegal, Olara Otunnu from Uganda and Yvonne Baqui from Ecuador.
