Dutch PM calls for dialogue after US sanctions on ICC
The Netherlands holds a special responsibility as the host country for the International Criminal Court, which is based in The Hague.
Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten expressed disappointment over the recent US sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC), but praised diplomatic efforts with Washington to delay their implementation. The sanctions, which will take effect in six months, are deeply regrettable, but Jetten emphasized that this pause provides vital space for dialogue.
As the host country for the ICC, located in The Hague, The Netherlands holds a special responsibility. Jetten stated that while he is disappointed by the escalation, the diplomatic efforts with the US to ensure the sanctions are not immediate will allow for ample time to continue discussions with the United States and other parties involved. He stressed that the ICC is an integral part of the international legal order.
