Les États parties protégeront-ils la Cour pénale internationale ou laisseront-ils qu'elle soit démantelée ? Prise de position de la FIDH pour la 24e Assemblée des États parties (ASP24)

At Assembly of States Parties (ASP24), held from 1 to 6 December 2025 in The Hague, ICC States Parties have a significant responsibility: to stand in defence of the Court amid escalating attacks against the ICC and civil society organisations supporting the Court, including three FIDH members in Palestine. This year’s ASP comes at a time when the ICC is under unprecedented political, operational, and institutional pressure. After the Court issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the United States of America (USA) imposed sanctions on the ICC Prosecutor, two Deputy Prosecutors, and six judges, as well as three Palestinian human rights organisations that are FIDH members. The USA are also reportedly considering sanctions against the Court itself, posing a direct threat to its future.
