Varios países de la UE piden recurrir a un mecanismo europeo para frenar las sanciones de EEUU al TPI

Several European Union member states have proposed activating the European Blocking Statute to counter sanctions recently imposed by the United States against the International Criminal Court (ICC). The proposal, raised on Monday, seeks to shield the international tribunal from the punitive measures announced by Washington last Friday.

The potential activation of this mechanism reflects a growing diplomatic rift between the EU and the U.S. regarding the ICC's authority. By invoking the Blocking Statute, the EU aims to provide a legal framework to protect European entities and interests from the reach of American sanctions related to the court's operations.
