Navi Pillay, this year's Nobel Peace Prize winner and former ICC judge, criticized the Trump administration's sweeping penalties on the International Criminal Court (ICC) as "unheard of" and "unacceptable." The US unveiled the sanctions, which include a ban on US entities making transactions with the ICC, hours after Pillay was awarded the prize on Friday, citing the court's alleged threat to American sovereignty and its past investigations into US soldiers in Afghanistan and arrest warrants for Israeli officials. UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres called the US decision "a serious blow" to international criminal justice, with several European countries, Canada, and Japan also expressing regret and strong disagreement.
