Host State 🇳🇱 #ASP23: It's the general responsibility of all States Parties to take measures to counter threats, interference, and sanctions against the Court. We are facing the situation in which even software and insurance companies might cease providing their services to the ICC.

State of #Palestine #ASP23 is committed to fully cooperating with the ICC as a State Party. Criticises (rightly) the officials of Argentina and Hungary for the remarks betraying their unwillingness to execute the Court's arrest warrants, which is inconsistent with the Statute.

Netherlands #ASP23: in the current climate, full cooperation by States is essential. States Parties should be able to cooperate with the ICC freely and without becoming subject to threats and pressure.

🇳🇱 is fully behind the Court; nothing in its statements here indicates otherwise.

🇺🇸 is set to enact legislation broadly sanctioning the ICC, its staff, and persons & organisations cooperating or engaging with the Court in connection with any investigations involving US officials or those of its allies. This is expected to happen even before Trump takes office. #ASP23

Raji Sourani's powerful speech, #ASP23 side-event:

"Are we really human animals, as Palestinians? We refuse to go down as 'good victims'. The future is ours, and we will fight for it. We are on the right side of the law and of the history. The States must stand up for the ICC."

State of Palestine #ASP23: international law experts have been crystal clear about what has transpired in Gaza. There must be no justification, no impunity for core crimes.

South Africa at #ASP23: welcomes the issuance of the arrest warrants in the Situation in the State of #Palestine and underlines the imperative need to counter threats and intimidation against the Court staff. #RSA is committed to supporting the amendment process of the jurisdictional regime for the crime of aggression.
