JAKARTA - The Netherlands strongly condemns the sanctions imposed by the United States (US) against the judges of the International Criminal Court (ICC) who tried the case against Israel.

Citing Sputnik, Dutch Foreign Minister (Menlu) Caspar Veldkamp on Thursday, June 5, confirmed that the court must be able to carry out its duties without interruption.
