Human rights groups sue Trump over ICC sanctions

Several human rights groups have filed lawsuits against the Trump administration over its sanctions targeting the International Criminal Court (ICC). The lawsuits, reported on August 11, 2026, argue that the sanctions are unconstitutional and 'crippling' to the court's work. The administration's actions are part of a broader push against the ICC, which the groups say violates U.S. law and international obligations. The legal challenge seeks to block the sanctions and protect the court's ability to function.
