Those businesses and groups have curtailed work on behalf of the court because they were concerned about being targeted by U.S. authorities, according to current and former ICC staffers.
Microsoft, for example, cancelled the Khan’s email address, forcing the prosecutor to move to Proton Mail. His bank accounts in his home country of the United Kingdom have been blocked.<<

Senior leadership at two other U.S.-based human rights organizations told the AP that their groups have stopped working with the ICC. A senior staffer at one told the AP that employees have even stopped replying to emails from court officials<<

Das Motto der aktuellen, und der vorigen Regierungen Deutschlands und der USA scheint zu sein: Lieber alles was man sich über viele Jahre mühevoll aufgebaut hat komplett zerschlagen, als das Regeln auch für einen selbst und die eigenen Freunde gelten.
