A stern silence from Canada about illegal U.S. sanctions on Canadian ICC Judge
------------------------------------------------------------

International Criminal Court (ICC) Judge Kimberly Prost of Canada recently told Al Jazeera that illegal U.S. sanctions are having a ‘crippling’ effect on her life.

Kimberly Prost has had an honorable and accomplished career in law, both in Canada and internationally, if one glances through this WikiPedia post.

And the response in Canada to these illegal U.S. sanctions on a Canadian jurist? Total silence is the stern reply, it appears, from the government, political parties and judiciary, including judges, lawyers, prosecutors, and in the media.

Silence as policy
This is not an isolated incident of silence from Canada. Better put, complicity.

Recently, Anita Arnand, Canada’s Minister for Foreign Affairs ([link removed]) , said “it is within the purview of U.S. authorities to make that determination” whether it is a violation of international law or not that the U.S. has murdered at least 80 people in 20 military strikes on small boats off the coast of Venezuela and Colombia.

Most recently, the U.S. government stomped all over the November 30 Presidential elections in Honduras ([link removed]) , while pardoning former drug-trafficking President Juan Orlando Hernandez of Honduras, who was in prison for life in the U.S. for having operated a drug trafficking cartel during his tenure as President. During his entire time as President, 2014-2022, Hernandez and his government were a staunch “democratic allie” of both the U.S. and Canada.

Sticking to the script, “total silence” is again, as far as I know, the stern reply from Canada’s main stream media, government, political parties and judiciary, about the U.S.’s harmful trashing of Honduras’ democratic process and pardoning of a drug trafficking cartel leader.
