Efforts to isolate ICC aim to erode global legal order, governing body leaders warn

Leaders of the International Criminal Court (ICC) have issued a warning that ongoing efforts to isolate the institution are intended to undermine the global rule of law and the international legal order. The statement comes amidst significant diplomatic and political pressure directed at the court and its governing body.

This pressure includes actions taken by the Trump administration, which has imposed sanctions on ICC judges and officials, including the court's president. Furthermore, the administration has actively lobbied member countries to withdraw their support and membership from the court.
