Sondierungen in Berlin: SPD und GrĂŒne fordern Opfer
In der Linkspartei selbst brodelt es. Am Freitag wandten sich die stellvertretende Parteivorsitzende Ăzlem Demirel, verschiedene Parteistrukturen, zahlreiche Parlamentarier (darunter Lea Reisner, Nicole Gohlke und Cansın KöktĂŒrk) und weitere FunktionĂ€re an die Ăffentlichkeit. Dass sich die Verhandler dem Druck von GrĂŒnen und SPD gebeugt hĂ€tten, sei ein »schwerer politischer Fehler«. Nicht nur ĂŒbernĂ€hmen sie die »Narrative einer medialen Hetzkampagne«, sondern auch die verlangten »Disziplinierungs- und Spaltungsmechanismen«. Die Unterzeichner fordern ein sofortiges Ende der »bĂŒrokratischen VerdrĂ€ngungsversuche, zum Beispiel ĂŒber Ausschlussverfahren«.

The ICC strongly rejects US sanctions against the institution
This measure targets an independent judicial institution, created by treaty and entrusted by 125 States Parties with investigating and prosecuting genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and the crime of aggression. It is an attempt to obstruct the course of justice and to prevent the Court from doing what it was created to do. It is an assault on the rule of law and on the very foundations of the international legal order which strikes at the simple principle that no one stands above the law.
The designation is aimed at disrupting the Courtâs operations and at intimidating those who work for or cooperate with the Court. The Court, for its part, will not be deterred. âThe Court will continue to fully discharge its mandate, with independence and impartiality, acting only on the basis of the law and the evidence, for the sake of the countless victims of grave crimesâ said ICC President Tomoko Akane.

Zudem ermittelte der IStGH zu mutmaĂlichen Kriegsverbrechen von US-Soldaten in Afghanistan, stellte das Vorhaben jedoch nach eigenen Angaben inzwischen zurĂŒck.
