Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize

This will help sway the Nobel folks in Trump's favor, I'm sure.

The Trump administration slapped a Canadian judge on the International Criminal Court (ICC) with sanctions as the U.S. State Department unleashes a new wave of restrictions against judges it said had been instrumental in a past decision to investigate U.S. officials and in efforts to prosecute Israeli leaders.

The State Department says Judge Kimberly Prost, of Canada, was sanctioned for ruling to authorize the ICC's investigation into U.S. personnel in Afghanistan.

In a statement, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio called the court "a national security threat that has been an instrument for lawfare against the United States and our close ally Israel" and said the U.S. has remained steadfast in its opposition to the ICC's "illegitimate judicial overreach."

"I urge countries that still support the ICC, many of whose freedom was purchased at the price of great American sacrifices, to resist the claims of this bankrupt institution," he said.

Canada's Prost joins a growing list of ICC judges facing similar sanctions.

This second round of sanctions comes less than three months after the U.S. administration took the unprecedented step of imposing sanctions on four other ICC judges.

It represents a serious escalation that will likely impede the functioning of the court and the prosecutor's office as they deal with major cases, including war crimes allegations against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.

The ICC, which was established in 2002, has international jurisdiction to prosecute genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in member states or if a situation is referred by the United Nations Security Council.

Read that last sentence again and ask why we, the United States, would be against such an institution--and one that we helped form.

The ICC is a direct descendent of the Nuremburg Trials. Justice Jackson's opening remarks are always a profound read, and unfortunately, way too applicable to the present for my liking. Just change a few words here and there...

Here's an audio recording of the first few minutes. I'm mildly surprised this is still available through the National Archives site.

I'm sure he'll just create his own Peas Prize, regardless.

Maybe Putin can present it to him...
