18:11Now PlayingEscalating its campaign against the International Criminal Court, the Trump administration imposed new sanctions against its president Tomoko Akane and senior trial lawyer Abdoulaye Saye. According to Just Security, the United States has now sanctioned nine of the ICC's 18 judges, both deputy prosecutors and the Court's former chief prosecutor — even though these sanctions have repeatedly failed in court. Why is the Trump administration so hostile to the ICC, and how did the nation that drove the creation of the international legal system from the ashes of World War II become one of its biggest antagonists? Adam Klasfeld of All Rise News discusses the development with Professor Jamie Rowen, an international law expert and scholar from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.
