On Wednesday 25 February, MEPs on the European Parliament’s Committee on Foreign Affairs (AFET) held an exchange of views on the role of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in “an increasingly fragmented international order”.
The Vice-Chair of the Committee, Hana Jalloul Muro (S&D, Spanish), highlighted that the ICC occupies “a difficult but essential position” at a time when “geopolitical rivalry” and “a growing challenge to universal principles” have taken hold.
