Washington has already imposed targeted sanctions on several #prosecutors & #judges at the #ICC, but naming the #court itself in the #sanctions list would be a major escalation.
6 sources with knowledge of the matter, all speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive diplomatic issue that has not been publicly announced, said a decision on such "entity sanctions" was expected soon.
A source said #ICC officials had already held emergency internal meetings to discuss the impact of potential blanket #sanctions. Two other sources said meetings had also been held of court member state diplomats.
One #US official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters, confirmed that entity-wide sanctions were being weighed but did not elaborate on the timing of the possible move.
