We Need the International Legal Order: A Call to Protect the International Criminal Court
A special essay by all the current and former Presidents of the Assembly of States Parties of the International Criminal Court
Graphic with the title 'We call on the 125 ICC member states in every region of the world to:' displayed in bold white text on a blue background. Below, three bullet points outline actions for member states: 1) Publicly condemn sanctions that undermine the ICC and express strong commitment to its global mandate; 2) Urge the United States to cease actions undermining the ICC’s independence and encourage joining the ICC while supporting victims' access to justice; 3) Fully cooperate with the ICC to support its work in all situations, ensuring implementation of decisions and agreements such as the Agreement on Privileges and Immunities of the International Criminal Court (APIC), and fostering international cooperation. The background features a faint image of the International Criminal Court (ICC) building in The Hague. The number '1/2' appears in the bottom right corner
US sanctions could severely affect the ICC’s ability to fulfil its crucial mandate in all situations where it operates.
ICC member states must do more to protect the court and ensure that it can continue its work undeterred, everywhere.
