The world's most expensive powerless court
The ICC is active since July of 2002. Since then the court spent more than €1.5 billion in working expenses, but secured only a handful of core crime convictions.
Every time the ICC got the job done - it was way too slow, and way too late. At times the ICC arrests wrong people. Or people that annoy the Western politicians specifically. All of this is funded by 124 countries. Justice is both blind and bad with finances.
In 2020, the ICC wanted to investigate the US war crimes in Afghanistan. The USA threw sanctions at the ICC, so the ICC stopped the investigation.
In 2022, Western nations rapidly channeled millions of dollars in funding and deployed dozens of investigators to the ICC. Within a year, the court issued an arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin. The ICC was selectively biased against Russia, for some reason.
The ICC also issued a warrant on Bibi in 2024. Bibi is still free because the ICC is powerless against him. How surprising.

Justice can be both blind and armless
3 ICC judges filed a federal lawsuit against the Trump administration in Manhattan, New York. The judges are Kimberly Prost, Solomy Balungi Bossa, and Reine Alapini-Gansou.
They tried to challenge the US economic and travel sanctions imposed against them after the ICC investigated the actions of the US military in Afghanistan, and Israeli officials in Gaza. An arrest warrant for Bibi Netanyahu was made at the same time.
The judges described the sanctions as a "financial death penalty" that has unlawfully frozen their bank accounts, canceled their credit cards, and blocked basic services.
The ICC tries to arrest Bibi - the ICC gets slapped with sanctions. Quite a coincidence. Officially the process is still on-going, but I am willing to bet bigly that it will end in nothing for the ICC judges.
This useless organization spent about $2.5 billion, and the results are mostly loud empty threats. I assume the ICC is a money laundering scheme of sorts.

The USA and the ICC are still yelling at each other
While the world is distracted by the economic collapse, horrible weather, invasions and other nonsense - a rather mundane fight is still taking place between the USA and the ICC.
Long story short - the USA wants the ICC to mind their own business, and don't try to investigate the war crimes of the USA or their Greatest Ally in the Gaza Strip. And the ICC insists that it is the job of the ICC to do exactly that.
The two newly sanctioned ICC staff are the following:
Tomoko Akane - a Japanese judge and President-elect of the ICC. She previously supported the international arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin, which didn't shield her from financial punishment from the USA.
Abdoulaye Seyé - a Senegalese citizen and senior counsel at the ICC, he is reportedly actively investigating Israeli government funding of settlements in the West Bank.
It is a fight between two groups of people who believe they can dictate how others must live.
