German Minister Pledges Support for International Criminal Court in The Hague: 'Historical Duty'
German Foreign Minister Wadephul and Dutch counterpart Berendsen visited the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague to reaffirm their nations' support against escalating US sanctions. This pressure intensified after the ICC issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, prompting President Trump to criticize the court as anti-American. Germany views defending the ICC as a historical responsibility rooted in its WWII past, while the EU considers activating its blocking statute to shield European entities from US penalties. Both ministers emphasized the need to uphold international law and democratic values against dominant powers.
