Prost, a Canadian citizen who was raised in Winnipeg, will have any U.S. assets frozen, and she could have difficulty accessing financial services in Canada.

He said Ottawa should issue a blocking statute under the Foreign Extraterritorial Measures Act, which bars Canadian businesses from enforcing what the Department of Justice refers to as "unacceptable extraterritorial assertions of foreign jurisdiction" and allows lawsuits against those who co-operate with unjust foreign sanctions.

Ottawa's silence tells Canadian officials they won't be defended if they take up politically sensitive work, he said, which erodes morale and Canada’s global standing.

"If we don't do anything about this now, it won't just be the ICC. We will normalize the use of coercive sanctions, not only against our citizens, but against people who have done exactly nothing wrong and who have dedicated their lives to serve others."
