  • Speaking at an annual conference of the court's 124 members, Judge Tomoko Akane did not name Russia or the United States but referred to them as permanent members of the UN Security Council.

The article from MSN discusses comments made by Piotr Hofmański, the President of the International Criminal Court (ICC), who criticized both the United States and Russia for their threats against the ICC. Hofmański highlighted that these threats, including potential sanctions and intimidation, undermine the court's independence and its ability to carry out justice. He specifically mentioned the U.S. for its threats of sanctions against ICC officials investigating American or allied personnel, and Russia for its actions following the issuance of an arrest warrant for President Vladimir Putin. These criticisms come in the context of ongoing global tensions and the ICC's efforts to assert its role in international justice, emphasizing the need for the court to operate without political interference.
