The International Criminal Court has taken steps to protect its operations from possible new US sanctions targeting the institution as a whole, Deputy Prosecutor Nazhat Shameem Khan told the Financial Times. The court moved office software from Microsoft to Germany's openDesk and arranged measures to reduce potential disruption to banking, health insurance and payroll, including paying staff months in advance. Khan said officials had heard rumors of further sanctions but received no formal notification, describing the preparations as a work in progress. The reported threat follows US sanctions against 13 ICC officials, including nine of its 18 judges, which have restricted some officials' access to US credit cards and other services. US President Donald Trump has renewed criticism of the court and urged member states to withdraw during an address to the UN General Assembly. Tensions intensified after the ICC issued 2024 arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant over alleged war crimes in Gaza. The United States and Israel are not ICC members, while the court bases its jurisdiction in the case on Palestine's membership.
