Washington. US President Joe Biden continues to end many policies of the Donald Trump administration. Following migrant law, climate change and a return to the WHO, Biden has also overturned Trump’s decision that imposed sanctions on two officers of the International Criminal Court (ICC). Trump’s order was seen as an aggressive decision targeting international institutions and officials. Foreign Minister Antony Blinken said in a statement that the United States still completely disagrees with some of the court’s actions. This permanent body at The Hague in the Netherlands has the responsibility of handling cases of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. The US is not involved in about 120 member countries of the court.
Blinken said, however, that we believe our concern for these matters will be addressed through diplomacy and not the removal of sanctions by imposing sanctions, indicating that the Biden administration intends to return to multilateral institutions. The Trump administration had removed the US from many international institutions and agreements and severely criticized many others, including the ICC.
The Trump administration had alleged that these institutions have many flaws and they are working against American interests. Sylvia Fernandez de Gurmendi, the chairperson of the management body of the member nations in the court, said that the removal of sanctions by the US would help to advance a law-based international system.
