In a press statement, Guterres expressed his deep concern over the anticipated repercussions of these sanctions on the International Criminal Court as a whole, particularly its ability to continue carrying out its mandate, including cases referred to it by the UN Security Council and the States Parties to the Rome Statute.
He called on all countries to fulfill their obligations under international law and to support efforts aimed at ensuring accountability for the most serious crimes of concern to the international community.
The Secretary-General emphasized the United Nations’ continued commitment to cooperating with the International Criminal Court in accordance with the Relationship Agreement between the two parties, which was approved by the UN General Assembly on 13 September 2004.
