Nobel Peace Prize winner Navi Pillay on Wednesday hit out at Donald Trump’s “illegal” sanctions against the International Criminal Court (ICC), saying the US president needed a lesson in international law.

In an interview with AFP, Pillay also said it was no coincidence the US sanctions on the ICC were announced just hours after her Nobel, as a “reaction to the fact that the award was not given to President Trump”.

But Pillay said the idea of reforms to the ICC was “euphemistic”, adding that what Trump wanted was “an undertaking that they won’t pursue investigations of US citizens”.

“You can’t do that, because you can’t have double standards.
asserted
you → do → standards
You can’t selectively pursue one lot of people and not the other,” Pillay told AFP.

Netanyahu called her a “bigot” while Israel’s foreign ministry said Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels must be “applauding from hell” at her award.

She acknowledged there was little political appetite to arrest Netanyahu to face the ICC accusations, which he furiously denies.
