What should States do in response to the US administration sanctions against , the ICC Prosecutor and Judges?
Publicly condemn the use of sanctions to undermine the ICC and express strong, unconditional commitment to the ICC and its critical global mandate; to the UN Special Procedures and all those cooperating with the ICC
Pass national laws that shield individuals and companies from the threat of US sanction laws.
Fully cooperate with the Court, including by arresting and transferring individuals subject to ICC arrest warrants.
Call on the United States to cease any efforts to undermine the court’s independence and essential work, while encouraging the United States to join the ICC and fully support victims’ access to justice;
Harmonise domestic legislations with the Rome Statute, ratifying and implementing the Agreement on the Privileges and Immunities of the International Criminal Court (APIC), and signing all relevant cooperation agreements with the ICC (for example, on the protection of witnesses and victims; the release of persons, including interim release; and the enforcement of sentences);
Adopt and/or implement national and regional blocking statutes, such as the European Union (EU) blocking statute, that aims to shield European operators from the effects of extraterritorial sanctions. Blocking statutes and similar instruments can provide the Court and its partners with essential protection and send a powerful message that ICC member countries will not tolerate efforts to undermine the Court;
Adopt any other protective measures at the domestic, regional or international level, and engage with domestic and regional service providers to ensure that they will continue working with the Court.
