Al-Haq once again calls on all states, including States Parties to the ICC, to urgently amend their conduct and to take practical, meaningful, and immediate steps to protect the ICC. The US campaign to neuter the Court, and to ensure impunity for it and its allies, constitutes a grievous assault on basic human rights and on the international legal framework. The increase in states declaring that they will withdraw from the ICC, alongside the politicised proceedings resulting in the removal of its Chief Prosecutor, demand diplomatic and practical action to protect the institution designed to protect us all.
