“Russia’s actions demonstrate a clear lack of genuine intent to pursue peace. We must remember that this is a Russian war of choice. If President Putin so wished, he could cease the aggression and end the war tomorrow.”

This week, a vote was held in the UN on the International Criminal Court. The court is exposed to threats, sabotage and sanctions. Sweden and other ICC friends criticized this in a draft resolution and won with 94 votes vs 10. Thank you @swedenun.bsky.social @liechtensteinun.bsky.social & Co.

6️⃣ Anticipating and addressing new threats and attacks as they arise, thereby engaging with domestic and regional service providers to ensure uninterrupted support for the ICC.

The International Criminal Court upholds justice in the face of the most serious crimes.

It must remain free from pressure and true to its principles.

We will always support its vital work and protect its independence.
