The Trump administration is imposing sanctions on the UN Human Rights Council special rapporteur Francesca Albanese, an outspoken critic of Israel's military offensive in Gaza.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio linked the move to her support for the International Criminal Court (ICC), some of whose judges have already been sanctioned by the US.

Rubio said the US was sanctioning Ms Albanese for directly engaging with the ICC in its efforts to prosecute American or Israeli nationals, accusing her of being unfit for service as a UN Special Rapporteur.

The US is a state sponsor of terrorism.

    The Nuremberg trials took place in the context of the winner prosecuting the loser. So long as the current US elite (reps and dems) are in power this is never gonna happen. Only if the US decisively loses a war (very unlikely) or some type of revolution takes place (also unlikely but possible), will such trials be possible.

    i wonder if something like this would ever happen given that the united states is practically un-invadeable compared to germany with the 2 biggest oceans on opposite sides that include an american dominated navy along with 2 buffer states to the north and south that are economically and politically dominated by the united states.

    were germany in the same geographic spot and had the same economic and military dominance; the 3rd reich would still be a thing.

    She's obviously anti-semitic if she's speaking up against Israel.
