The Netherlands will continue to stand up for the @IntlCrimCourt. As host state and as a signatory to the ICC’s Rome Statute, we will continue to do everything in our power to ensure that the Court can function effectively.
ALT Text on visual: "The sanctions that have been announced against the International Criminal Court mark a new and unwelcome escalation. This is a deeply regrettable step. We will stand firm in defence of the Court. At the same time, it’s important to note that the sanctions will not take effect immediately and that service providers can continue to work for the ICC. The six-month period before the sanctions take effect creates scope for dialogue. We welcome this and will make a serious assessment of the options available, in partnership with the other members of the ICC. " Tom Berendsen, Minister of Foreign Affairs.

“Handen af van het ICC en alle andere instituties die de internationale rechtsorde beschermen.”
In mijn toespraak in de Algemene Vergadering van de Verenigde Naties benadrukte ik het belang van de internationale rechtsorde, in een tijd van grove schendingen van het internationaal recht.
Het is aan de middenmachten om het voortouw te nemen voor meer internationale samenwerking. Met als uitgangspunt dat het internationaal recht werkt voor iedereen, of voor niemand.
Ook sprak ik over de noodzaak van ambitieuze klimaatmaatregelen. De tijd van wegkijken is echt voorbij.
