The head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, stated on Friday that the International Criminal Court should have the ability to continue the fight against impunity for serious crimes at the global level without obstacles. "We must ensure that the International Criminal Court has the necessary resources to conduct investigations, independent of political considerations, and to receive the necessary support," von der Leyen emphasized in her speech. She also underscored the importance of allowing the ICC to continue its operations independently of political influence and to define the conditions that enable it to be more effective in its work. "The international judiciary needs to feel confident in its ability to prosecute those who commit the most serious crimes," the president of the European Commission stated.
