Joint Statement:  Urgent Call for Action: States Must Act Now to Protect the International Criminal Court from Unlawful US Attacks 

The Coalition for the International Criminal Court (CICC), the more than 180 undersigned organisations from over 60 countries representing all regions, and dozens of legal experts, human rights defenders and members of the European Parliament, condemn unequivocally and in the strongest terms the decision byco the United States (US) to impose unlawful sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC). This unprecedented measure represents a direct attack against the rule of law, the independence of the Court and international justice, ultimately undermining the rights of millions of victims and survivors of mass atrocities worldwide.
