Properly proved. Has structure, has flavour, has a point.
Summary
The International Criminal Court (ICC) is replacing Microsoft software with OpenDesk, a German alternative, to reduce dependence on US technology. This decision follows sanctions by the Trump administration against ICC employees, including Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan, whose Microsoft email access was blocked. The move aims to protect the court from potential political interference and ensure operational independence from US technology providers.
