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.

STATEMENT: Australia-Fiji Defence Treaty Underscores Urgent Need for Human Rights Vetting
The Australian Centre for International Justice (ACIJ) notes the announcement this week of the new Australia-Fiji mutual defence treaty, known as the ‘Ocean of Peace Alliance’, alongside the broader ‘Fiji-Australia Vuvale Union’ economic partnership.
ACIJ is deeply concerned that this significantly expanded defence and security relationship with Fiji has been announced despite unresolved allegations of torture, ill-treatment and custodial violence committed by members of the Fijian military. These concerns are not abstract. ACIJ represents a Fijian torture survivor who was subject to torture and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment by members of the Fijian military in Suva, Fiji.
