Spain regrets the announcement of new US sanctions against 4 judges of the International Criminal Court.
Spain expresses its firm support for the International Criminal Court, the cornerstone of the international criminal justice system, and rejects any kind of interference in its work.
The work of the Court is essential for accountability for the most serious crimes against humanity.
The Court receives its mandate from the 125 Member States of the Rome Statute. Its work is key to the reparation of victims and to the maintenance of international peace and security.
Spain will continue to comply with its obligations under the Rome Statute and international law, respecting and guaranteeing the full jurisdiction of the Court.
