International Criminal Court prepares for possible US sanctions by changing systems and paying staff early

The International Criminal Court in The Hague has taken steps to protect itself from potential US sanctions, as reported by the Financial Times. Deputy prosecutor Nazhat Shameem Khan said the court has overhauled its systems, including switching to open-source software and finding new banking and insurance providers. The court is also paying staff months in advance. These measures come after reports that the Trump administration has prepared sanctions against the entire ICC. The court's actions aim to ensure it can continue its work despite possible financial restrictions.
