All EU member countries support the International Criminal Court (ICC) and must comply with its warrants, including those for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Jewish Defense Minister Yoav Galant. This was announced by the representative of the EU foreign policy service Peter Stano.
“All countries that have ratified the Rome Statute, including all EU member states, are obliged to execute arrest warrants issued by the ICC,” said a representative of the European Commission, answering a question from the Turkish agency.
According to Stano, the EU and its member states are “firmly committed to international criminal justice and the fight against impunity.” “We support the ICC and the principles set out in the Rome Statute,” the EC spokesman added.
