Abdoulaye Seye

Abdoulaye Seye, a prosecutor at the International Criminal Court (ICC), has been targeted by sanctions imposed by the Trump administration. The US government, led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, has initiated these sanctions as part of a broader campaign against the ICC, which the administration views as a threat to US national sovereignty. The sanctions are specifically directed at the ICC president and senior prosecutors, including Seye, who are involved in investigations that the US opposes, such as the probe into alleged crimes committed by Israel during the war on Gaza. This action represents a significant escalation in the US's efforts to challenge the authority and operations of the international tribunal, which was established to prosecute war crimes and genocide.
