ICC receives backing from 78 nations following US sanctions over Israel investigation
Seventy-eight nations have issued a joint statement reaffirming their support for the International Criminal Court (ICC) after the Trump administration imposed sanctions against the court and its officials.

“At an historic moment when we are witnessing a genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, and the global rule of law coming under threat from multiple fronts, institutions like the Court are needed more than ever to advance human rights protections, prevent future atrocities and secure justice for victims. (…)
“Governments around the world and regional organizations must do everything in their power to mitigate and block the effect of President Trump’s sanctions. Through collective and concerted actions, ICC member states can protect the Court and its staff. Urgent action is needed, like never before.”

ICJ president ‚plagiarised 32 percent of pro-Israel dissenting opinion‘
In July, a 15-judge panel found that Israel‘s decades-long occupation of the Palestinian territories was „unlawful“ and that its „near-complete separation“ of people in the occupied West Bank breached international laws concerning „racial segregation“ and „apartheid“.
While most judges agreed with the advisory opinion, Sebutinde rejected the findings.
When contacted by MEE for a response, Sebutinde declined to comment on the plagiarism allegations.
