Il piano per le sanzioni può partire presto.

La CPI è nata nel 2002 per casi di genocidio, guerra e crimini contro l’umanità.

Dopo sei o sette mesi, le sanzioni possono bloccare quasi tutti i rapporti con la corte.

Per la CPI, può diventare più difficile comprare tecnologia, assicurazione e altri servizi.

La corte può avere più problemi con i pagamenti e con gli stipendi.
