Japan on Wednesday called a?U.S. move to sanction senior members of the International Criminal Court (ICC) “very unfortunate” as Washington assails and scales back participation in international bodies it claims fail to serve American interests.?
?“Japan has consistently supported the ICC, which is a permanent international criminal court, in its efforts to prosecute and punish the most serious crimes of concern to the international community and to uphold the rule of law,” the Foreign Ministry in Tokyo said.
The ministry said Japan would?continue to work to strengthen the rule of law in the international community,?while maintaining communication with relevant countries.
