Trump ICC sanctions order challenged in US court by human rights advocates

Exclusive: Lawsuit says unconstitutional' order violates right to share information with court's chief prosecutor

Donald Trump's executive order imposing sanctions on the international criminal court (ICC) is facing a legal challenge from two US human rights advocates who argue it is unconstitutional and unlawful".

In a lawsuit filed in federal court on Friday, the advocates said the order had forced them to stop assisting and engaging with the ICC out of fear the US government would punish them with criminal prosecution and civil fines.
