France called out the US for siding with Human Rights offenders in blocking the nomination of Volker Türk.
Now, the US walked out during France's intervention at the UN:
"I must point out that there is a member of this Council that will feign moral outrage and pretend to lecture the rest of us about every topic, whether it’s about the very conflict we’re discussing yet again today, or even those unrelated to international peace and security, like human rights."

A good moment to revisit the impact that it has on one’s life to be on a US sanctions list now that the International Criminal Court President Tomoko Akane joins the list.
Trump aligns with Putin, who opened a Russian investigation against Akane for issuing an arrest warrant for the unlawful deportation of Ukrainian children.
US sanctions now weaponized to support war criminals like Putin and Bibi

"ICC member states should act now to help the Court and its vendors prepare for the heavier sanctions that seem certain to come once Rubio lines up his pro-impunity posse. They should instruct banks and other private sector entities that are not U.S. companies, and thus not bound to comply with U.S. sanctions, not to do so, and provide them support that helps them try to do that."
