美国国务卿马可·卢比奥周二针对两名国际刑事法院官员实施新制裁,这是他发起的“拆解”该法院运动的一部分。
卢比奥在一份声明中宣布,将对国际刑事法院院长、日本人金子(Tomoko Akane)以及高级公诉人、塞内加尔人阿卜杜拉耶·塞耶(Abdoulaye Seye)实施制裁。
他表示:“这些人员直接参与了国际刑事法院的相关行动,试图调查、逮捕、拘留或起诉那些其本国政府未同意国际刑事法院管辖权的官员。”
国际刑事法院谴责这项新制裁,称其“破坏法治”。
“法院不会被吓倒,将坚定支持我们的工作人员以及那些遭受难以想象的暴行的受害者,”声明称。“法院将继续依据《罗马规约》,以独立和公正的方式全面履行其授权职责,为国际罪行的受害者谋利益。”
特朗普政府此前已针对国际刑事法院官员实施了一系列制裁,原因是他们试图调查美国和以色列——这两个国家均非国际刑事法院成员国。唐纳德·特朗普总统对国际刑事法院的批评可追溯至其第一任期,当时其政府因该法院试图调查美军在阿富汗涉嫌犯下的战争罪而对其采取针对性措施。
2024年11月,国际刑事法院对包括以色列总理本杰明·内塔尼亚胡在内的多名官员发出逮捕令。法院称,有“合理依据”认定内塔尼亚胡对以色列在加沙的军事行动期间犯下的战争罪负有刑事责任,这些罪行包括“以饥饿作为作战手段”以及“谋杀、迫害等反人类罪和其他不人道行为”。
上个月,卢比奥宣布大幅升级本届政府针对这一全球法院的行动——由国务院牵头的“全政府运动”,以拆解国际刑事法院。
美国已呼吁其他国家加入这场施压运动,并威胁将对不加入的国家实施“更严格审查”。
卢比奥周二表示,他预计“更多国家将加入我们的运动,停止为这个政治化且不受问责的法院提供资金并参与其中”。
“国际刑事法院针对美国公民和其他非缔约国公民的能力必须终结,”他在提及非法院成员国时说道。“特朗普政府已准备好采取额外措施,必要时系统性地拆解国际刑事法院,直至其无法再威胁美国主权。”
一名美国官员上月透露,各国“与美国执法部门合作、在美国境内部署军事力量或受益于更广泛美国安全保护伞的国家”都被要求拒绝国际刑事法院所谓的起诉美国官员和军人的管辖权。
“我们将拭目以待,哪些国家会与我们站在一起,对抗这一威胁到那些甘愿牺牲生命保护他人的美国人的行径,”该官员补充道。
美国支持的委内瑞拉临时政府于7月下旬宣布将退出国际刑事法院。委内瑞拉外长表示,根据代理总统德尔西·罗德里格斯的指示,委内瑞拉已通知联合国其“坚定且不可撤销的退出法院的决定”。他在X平台上的帖子中辩称,该法院“表现出明显的地域偏见”,仅针对非洲和拉丁美洲国家展开调查。
国务院对此决定表示赞赏。
“这个所谓的法院自2018年起就一直在‘调查’尼古拉斯·马杜罗,却毫无结果。相反,国际刑事法院浪费资源,调查和起诉那些拥有合格、独立司法体系且从未同意接受该法院管辖的国家的人员,”国务院当时在一份媒体声明中表示。
在美国发起运动后,乍得也于7月下旬宣布退出国际刑事法院。
国际刑事法院缔约国大会主席团“关切地注意到”这两项决定,称退出“可能破坏集体追求正义的努力,削弱全球终结有罪不罚现象的行动”。

Rubio announces sanctions on ICC officials amid campaign to dismantle the court

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio targeted two International Criminal Court officials with new sanctions Tuesday amid his campaign to “dismantle” the court.
Rubio announced in a statement he is imposing sanctions on ICC President Tomoko Akane, who is Japanese, and senior trial lawyer Abdoulaye Seye, who is Senegalese.
“These individuals have directly engaged in efforts by the ICC to investigate, arrest, detain, or prosecute officials whose government has not consented to ICC jurisdiction,” he said.
The ICC denounced the new sanctions, saying that they “undermine the rule of law.”
“The Court remains undeterred and stands firmly behind its personnel and behind victims of unimaginable atrocities,” it said. “The Court will continue to fully discharge its mandate with independence and impartiality, in full accordance with the Rome Statute and in the interest of victims of international crimes.”
The Trump administration has imposed a slew of sanctions against ICC officials for their attempts to investigate the United States and Israel, neither of which are members of the court. President Donald Trump’s criticism of the ICC goes back to his first term, when his administration targeted the court for seeking to investigate alleged war crimes committed by US forces in Afghanistan.
In November 2024, the court issued arrest warrants for several officials including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The court said it found “reasonable grounds” to believe that Netanyahu bears criminal responsibility for war crimes during Israeli military operations in Gaza including “starvation as a method of warfare” and “the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts.”
Last month, Rubio announced a significant escalation of the administration’s efforts against the global court — a State Department-led, “whole-of-government campaign” to dismantle the ICC.
The US has asked other countries to join the pressure campaign and has threatened “increased scrutiny” against those that do not.
Rubio said Tuesday that he expects “more countries to join our campaign by ending their funding and participation in this politicized and unaccountable court.”
“The ICC’s ability to target American nationals and those of other non-States Parties must end,” he said, referencing countries that are not members of the court. “The Trump Administration stands ready to take additional measures, if necessary, to systematically dismantle the ICC until it is incapable of threatening American sovereignty.”
A US official said last month that countries “that partner with US law enforcement, host a US military presence, or benefit from the broader US security umbrella are being called upon to reject the ICC’s purported authority to prosecute American officials and servicemen.”
“We will watch with interest which nations join ranks with us against this threat to Americans who are willing to risk their lives to protect others,” they noted.
The US-backed interim government in Venezuela announced in late July it will pull out of the ICC. The foreign minister said that, under instruction from acting President Delcy Rodriguez, Venezuela had informed the United Nations of its “firm and irrevocable decision” to withdraw from the court. He argued in a post on X that the “Court’s actions reflect a demonstrated geographical bias” by focusing on African and Latin American countries.
The State Department praised the decision.
“The so-called court has been ‘investigating’ Nicolas Maduro since 2018 with no result. The ICC has instead wasted its resources on investigating and charging persons from countries that have competent, independent judicial systems and which never submitted to the jurisdiction of the court,” the department said in a media note at the time.
Chad also announced in late July its decision to withdraw from the ICC, after the launch of the US campaign.
The ICC’s Presidency of the Assembly of States Parties noted both decisions “with concern,” saying the withdrawals “risk undermining the collective pursuit of justice and weakening global efforts to end impunity.”
