Global support grows for world criminal court amid US threats
Ninety-three nations have reaffirmed their support for the International Criminal Court (ICC) emphasizing its independence in pursuing legal actions.
This follows recent threats aimed at ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan, who will be seeking arrest warrants against Israeli leaders and Palestinian figures.
A statement was issued by member states of the Rome Statute which urges global cooperation to uphold international law and combat impunity for serious crimes.
Despite earlier engagements with the ICC, the US and Israel continue to dispute its jurisdiction over their nationals.
The US House of Representatives aims to impose sanctions on the ICC and its officials, a response that critics say undermines international judicial norms.
