THE HAGUE - The International Criminal Court said on Tuesday it would 'continue to do its work undeterred' a day after US National Security Adviser John Bolton threatened sanctions if the tribunal investigated US activities in Afghanistan. The Hague-based court said in a statement it was an independent and impartial institution with the backing of 123 countries. 'The ICC, as a court of law, will continue to do its work undeterred, in accordance with those principles and the overarching idea of the rule of law,' it said.
