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.
