After US President Donald Trump has imposed punitive measures against the International Criminal Court (ICC) in the course of his Decree Marathon, 79 states are confronted with violent criticism. Austria is also one of them.
The sanctions of the United States increased “the risk of impunity for the most serious crimes and threatened to increase international law”, it was said in a statement published on Friday at the UN service in New York. As a “passionate in favor of the ICC”, the countries regretted “any attempt to undermine the independence of the court”.
The explanation of Slovenia, Luxembourg, Mexico, Sierra Leone and Vanuatu was initiated. In addition to Germany and France, the signatories also include Great Britain, South Africa, the Palestinians, Canada, Chile and Panama. Austria is also one of them, as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced.
Arrest warrant against Netanyahu is “abuse of power” for Trump
US President Donald Trump had ordered sanctions against the ICC on Thursday and justified the step with the fact that the court of The Hague “had abused his power” by asking for an arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. While the court himself convicted the sanctions, Israel welcomed Trump’s step.
