The Coalition for the International Criminal Court (CICC) condemns in the strongest possible terms the United States administration’s decision to impose unlawful sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC). By targeting the Court itself, the United States (U.S.) has taken its campaign against the ICC to an unprecedented level, striking directly at judicial independence, the rule of law and the wider system of international justice. The consequences extend far beyond the institution itself, putting at greater risk the rights, protection and access to justice of millions of victims and survivors of the world’s gravest crimes. The Coalition calls on States Parties to mount a coordinated and collective response to resist this escalation, safeguard the Court’s independent functioning and operations, as well as those supporting it, and preserve victims’ and survivors’ access to justice and reparations.
