Federal judge blocks US sanctions against UN rapporteur Francesca Albanese
US sanctions imposed on UN expert Francesca Albanese by the Trump administration temporarily blocked by a judge.
“Albanese has done nothing more than speak,” judge Leon wrote in his memorandum opinion. “It is undisputed that her recommendations have no binding effect on the ICC’s actions – they are nothing more than her opinion.”
