ICC says Gaza probe progressing despite new US sanctions on the court

ICC deputy prosecutor Nazhat Shameem Khan says the court's Gaza and other investigations are making significant progress despite US sanctions announced on 9 October, although some staff already report banking difficulties as banks over-comply. The court has moved from Microsoft to European software and is negotiating with the EU about shielding it from the measures. The standoff pits a US administration threatening to end the court against European backing for international jurisdiction over Israel's leaders, a dispute over authority above nation states that bears on how global institutions are contested.
