After Trump signed an executive order authorizing sanctions on International Criminal Court (ICC) officials & supporters, 79 ICC member countries issued a statement reaffirming their “unwavering support” for the ICC.

LESSON: Governments can stand up to Trump's madness.

World Responds to Trump’s Targeting of International Criminal Court

US President Donald Trump issued an executive order on February 6 authorizing sanctions on International Criminal Court (ICC) officials and others supporting the court’s work. The ICC’s prosecutor, Karim Khan, was the first individual targeted with these sanctions.

While the pushback against the sanctions is an important endorsement of global justice, more needs to be done.

A number of ICC member countries, including Australia, Japan, and EU members Italy, Czechia, and Hungary, did not sign the joint statement. Hungary even signaled that it may reassess its ICC membership.

@andrewstroehlein The Italian government is far-right and openly fascist (yes, a lot of my compatriots voted for it. No, I am not proud of being Italian).
Not surprised they don't like the ICC.

@andrewstroehlein Disappointed but not at all surprised at Japan's subservience.

@andrewstroehlein We just need the ICC to issue an arrest warrant for trump and then one of those 79 countries to actually arrest him.

@andrewstroehlein "A number of ICC member countries, including Australia, Japan, & EU members Italy, Czechia, & Hungary, did not sign the joint statement. Hungary even signalled that it may reassess its ICC membership. All ICC members that have not yet spoken out for the court should still do so. The EU High Representative's silence to date has been deafening, particularly in light of her predecessor's quick reaction to the 2020 ICC sanctions during Trump's first term."
