Canadian Judge Kimberly Prost is one of nearly a dozen members of the International Criminal Court that have been sanctioned by the Trump administration.
In her case it was to do with an appeal to authorise an investigation into atrocities in Afghanistan committed by all sides, including US forces.
Some of her colleagues have been sanctioned after an arrest warrant was issued for the Israeli Prime Minister and others over alleged war crimes in Gaza.
The sanctions block access to basic US financial services and everyday activities like online shopping and email, and prevent them from entering the US.
That means losing access to Google accounts, Apple accounts, Amazon and all of their credit cards.
But Justice Prost, who is visiting New Zealand as a Hotung Scholar with Canterbury University's Law Faculty , is determined to continue her work hearing cases of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
