Canada's support of ICC "unequivocal" despite US vow to dismantle it: PM Carney

Prime Minister Mark Carney said Wednesday Canada's support for the International Criminal Court (ICC) is "unequivocal" even as Washington vows to dismantle the institution.

But Carney did not explain why his government has offered no public criticism of U.S. President Donald Trump's sanctioning of Winnipeg-born ICC Judge Kimberly Prost.

Carney said Canada will "provide support as needed" to the judge, who is asking a New York court to reverse the sanctions that left her unable to use her credit cards after Trump sanctioned Prost last August over her work on a case involving American troops in Afghanistan.

Carney said Canada's various diplomatic appointments speak to the importance Ottawa attaches to international law and the ICC is particularly important as the world gets more "dangerous."
