Johnny explained that “the court is an international organization, and imposing sanctions on it is unprecedented in international relations because, according to the United Nations Charter, sanctions can only be imposed by the Security Council when there is a threat to international peace and security.”

Johnny considered that “the court, by its nature, has been European since its inception and biased in its work as a result,” reminding that “the United States contributed to drafting some of its statutes, suggesting that it would join. However, the politicization of the court’s work from the beginning raised doubts about its independence and ability to continue.”
