Austria opposes the US #sanctions against two additional judges of the @IntlCrimCourt. The ICC must be able to fulfil its mandate independently and impartially, without political pressure. We underline our support for the ICC.

#Russland zeigt nach wie vor keine Bereitschaft für ernsthafte Friedensverhandlungen. Deshalb haben wir die EU-Sanktionen weiter nachgeschärft, um in Moskau ein Umdenken zu erreichen. 1/2

Deeply shocked by the heinous terrorist attack at a Chanukka festivity in Sydney. We will never give an inch to this terror. My thoughts are with the victims and their families, and the Australian people. We stand together with Australia in this shattering moment.

#70years after Austria’s accession to the #UN, one thing is clear: A rules-based international world order is crucial for our security. That is why we are running for a seat on the UN Security Council for 2027/2028. We must work together to ensure peace, freedom, and prosperity.

Sicherheit geht uns alle an. Eine neue Sicherheitsstrategie für Österreich 🇦🇹 kann daher nicht nur auf Expertinnen und Experten setzen und auch nicht nur von Ministerien ausgearbeitet werden, sondern muss die Menschen aktiv miteinbeziehen und sie in die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Thema bringen. 1/4

Determination in fighting corruption is essential for any EU candidate country. Recent developments in #Ukraine underline the need for independent institutions & a strong track-record on investigations & judgments, incl. high-level cases. This is key for progress on its EU path.

The uncertainty and violence in Tanzania are a dangerous moment.

We urge all parties to prevent further escalation.
The authorities must exercise maximum restraint and respect the right of assembly.
Single-party rule is not the way forward for Tanzania.
