Background
On June 5, 2025, OFAC issued GL 1 to authorize certain transactions otherwise prohibited by Executive Order 14203 of February 6, 2025 (90 FR 9369, “Imposing Sanctions on the International Criminal Court”). This GL was made available on OFAC's website (https://ofac.treasury.gov) when it was issued. The GL expired on July 8, 2025. On July 1, 2025, OFAC incorporated the prohibitions of E.O. 14203 into the International Criminal Court-Related Sanctions Regulations, 31 CFR part 528. The text of this GL is provided below.

How This Rule Is Set Out
Federal Register documents are United States government works and are not under copyright, so the rule is here whole rather than cut to an excerpt. It is split at the headings the Register itself prints: the line it is filed under, the captioned fields on its face, the preamble where the agency says what it is doing and why, and the amendments to the Code of Federal Regulations. No passage is shortened.
Two things the Register prints are not reproduced: the running head it repeats at every page break, and the tables it sets as pictures rather than as words. Its own marker for one of those tables, [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED], is left standing where the table was, so a reader can see that something is there and follow the link to the page it is on.
A heading with nothing quoted under it is one the rule prints on its own, with the words that follow it set under the headings beneath.
