Nobel laureate Pillay calls Trump ICC sanctions 'illegal', cites double standard

South African judge Navi Pillay, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, condemned US sanctions on the ICC as illegal and politically motivated, linking them to the court's arrest warrant for Israeli PM Netanyahu. She highlighted Washington's inconsistent stance, having previously supported ICC action against Russia's Putin. The criticism underscores growing international friction over US pressure on the ICC, though it is a statement of opinion rather than a policy shift.
