PIL flags job threat to private companies' ICC members
Friday, 6 December 2024 The Supreme Court is examining a PIL alleging retaliatory actions against Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) members in private companies who rule against senior management in sexual harassment cases. The petitioners argue that ICC members need protection and job security to ensure fair decisions without fear of reprisal, similar to the protections afforded to judges.
President Trump signed an executive order sanctioning the ICC for "abusing its power" after it issued arrest warrants for Israeli PM Netanyahu. The order freezes ICC officials' assets and imposes travel bans, citing “illegitimate actions” against the US and Israel. Trump’s move follows a White House meeting with Netanyahu, where they discussed Gaza and regional policies. The ICC's probe into alleged war crimes in Gaza and Afghanistan has faced US opposition, with Trump previously sanctioning the court in 2020. The Biden administration later lifted those sanctions.
