Tunisice Telegraph: 8 Countries oppose US ICC sanctions
Eight major foreign ministers—those of Canada, Denmark, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom—issued a statement strongly supporting the International Criminal Court and expressing their opposition to the American sanctions announced against it. They affirmed that these sanctions could harm the Court’s work and hinder its efforts to prosecute those accused of international crimes, reaffirming their commitment to the independence and integrity of the Court and their readiness to enhance its role in achieving international justice. This came in response to the United States’ move to impose sanctions following the Norwegian Nobel Committee awarding the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize to Judge Navi Pillay, who oversaw international investigations against Israel. The U.S. administration viewed this as an attempt to politicize the awards and to lend broader legitimacy to the Court’s pursuit of Israeli and American leaders. The stance of these eight countries remains unified in their support for the Court’s judicial work, and they are prepared to engage in dialogue with non-member states and continue supporting the vital role of the institution in strengthening the international legal system and accountability.
