Jetten Defends International Criminal Court After Trump's Criticism: 'Hands Off'
Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten defended the International Criminal Court (ICC) during his address at the United Nations General Assembly, responding to recent criticism from Donald Trump without naming him directly. Jetten urged members to keep their hands off the ICC and other institutions protecting the international legal order, emphasizing that attempts to undermine the court affect everyone. He questioned how anyone could oppose prosecuting the most serious crimes, while noting that the US government is considering sanctions against the ICC due to investigations into American military actions in Afghanistan and arrest warrants issued against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
