EU Prepared to Defend ICC Amid US Pressures

The European Union is contemplating practical measures to support the International Criminal Court (ICC) in light of potential sanctions threats from the United States. According to EU foreign policy chief Kayra Callas, the international legal system is facing serious challenges, and a coordinated response is essential.

Callas emphasized that the EU is exploring all available options to ensure that support for the ICC is 'truly significant and effective' during this complex period. She indicated that specific defensive and financial measures are also being discussed.

According to external sources, Washington may impose sanctions against the Hague court due to certain investigations and legal actions taken by it. These developments have alarmed European leaders, who are urging the need to maintain the independence of international justice.

Experts suggest that the EU is trying to balance its relations with the US while simultaneously upholding the principles of international law.
