US sanctions against the International Criminal Court are now easier to avoid

The US Treasury Department has issued a new general license. This license makes it easier for people to engage in transactions that might otherwise be blocked by sanctions related to the International Criminal Court.

The US government previously imposed sanctions on individuals and entities connected to the International Criminal Court. This made it difficult for many people and organizations to do business with them, even if their activities were not directly related to the sanctioned actions. This new license reduces that friction, allowing more routine transactions to proceed without special permission.
