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 dismay at the US sanctions imposed on the International Criminal Court (ICC), but he commended diplomatic efforts between Washington and The Hague to delay their implementation. The sanctions, set to take effect in six months, are seen as deeply regrettable by Jetten. However, the delay provides a crucial window of opportunity for dialogue with the United States and other parties involved.
As the host country for the ICC, the Netherlands bears a special responsibility, and Jetten stressed the importance of the ICC in the international legal order. He emphasized that the sanctions are not immediately effective, which offers valuable time for negotiations and finding a solution.
