India, Oct. 12 -- Amnesty International has called on governments worldwide to resist US President Donald Trump's sanctions against the International Criminal Court (ICC), warning that the measures threaten international justice and could undermine efforts to hold perpetrators of grave crimes accountable.

Amnesty Calls for Collective Resistance

In a statement published on October 9, Amnesty International said the US administration's sanctions were intended to isolate and ultimately destroy the ICC. The human rights organisation urged states to take concrete steps to protect the court and ensure it can continue its work independently.
