International Criminal Court awarded EU's Sakharov Prize amid US sanctions
Most outlets led with the fact that the International Criminal Court (ICC) was awarded the European Union’s Sakharov Prize despite facing US sanctions, often highlighting the potential for this to upset former US President Donald Trump.

While most phrased the award as a show of support for the ICC, the framing and emphasis on the political implications varied slightly, with some placing more weight on the EU’s stance and others on the sanctions context.
