lista 4 de 4: Como o ICC pode ser salvo.

Thursday’s Sakharov Prize is the second international recognition for the war crimes tribunal this month, with former ICC Judge Navi Pillay awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her work to promote peace and international law.

The ICC thanked the European Parliament for the honour “at a time when the Court and its officials face unprecedented challenges”.

O ICC, sediado na Holanda, tem sido alvo de Trump há muito tempo, e sua campanha contra o tribunal intensificou-se desde que o tribunal anunciou, em 2024, mandados de prisão contra o Primeiro‑Ministro de Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, e seu ex‑Ministro da Defesa, Yoav Gallant.

The Trump administration has promised to dismantle the court “brick by brick”, recently announcing sanctions aimed at crippling its day-to-day operations. The ICC tries individuals for war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide.

Washington has also sanctioned ICC judges and prosecutors, as well as a UN special rapporteur focusing on the occupied Palestinian territories and Palestinian rights groups that have provided evidence to the court.

A UE já lançou seu apoio à ICC diante das sanções dos EUA, que devem entrar em vigor em seis meses, e afirmou que está “ready to take any necessary measures” para garantir que o tribunal possa continuar funcionando.

Brussels is hoping to use the delay before the sanctions are applied to try to talk the US down, but according to EU officials is also eyeing implementing a “blocking statute” to shield the ICC from Washington.
