  1. Nobel Peace Laureate Navi Pillay Slams US Sanctions on ICC

    Newly crowned Nobel Peace Prize winner Navi Pillay has condemned the Trump administration's sweeping penalties on the International Criminal Court as unacceptable and unheard of. The United States enacted the severe sanctions against the international tribunal just hours after Pillay won the Nobel Peace Prize. In response to the US actions, European states, Canada, Japan, and the United Nations have rallied to back the ICC. Observers note that families of victims from the Philippines drug war may also suffer collateral impacts from the US measures against the tribunal.

    Why it matters

    The Trump administration has a history of hostility toward the International Criminal Court, having previously imposed penalties on its prosecutors and judges. Pillay utilized her platform as a Nobel laureate to urge the United States to return to its traditional role as a human rights advocate. The timing of the new penalties immediately following her prize win sent a direct message to Washington.
