AMSTERDAM: Prosecutors at the International Criminal Court said on Thursday they did not see a reasonable basis to believe crimes against humanity ⁠had been committed as ⁠a result of sanctions imposed by the US ⁠on the country since 2014.

The prosecutors said in a statement that it would not open an investigation into the sanctions. A separate ⁠probe ⁠into possible crimes against humanity committed in Venezuela since 2014 was ongoing, they added.
