Save the ICC and the Rule of Law: Verified Signatories Civil society urges States Parties to the Rome Statute to prevent US sanctions on the ICC. Endorsed by FIDH, REDRESS, TRIAL, ECCHR, OSJI, and others.

5/ REDRESS - founded by a British torture survivor, backed by FIDH, ECCHR and others - is leading the civil society defence of the court. Lawyers, academics, professionals: this is a concrete ask that takes thirty seconds.

4/ If the court is successfully neutered, the message to every future perpetrator is unambiguous: prohibited weapons on civilians, no accountability.

That is a precedent that threatens victims everywhere β€” not only Palestinians.

3/ This is what impunity looks like in practice.

The ICC exists precisely for this moment.

But the court is now under sustained attack from Washington β€” sanctions designed to intimidate judges and shield allies from prosecution.

2/ On March 3, Israeli forces fired white phosphorus munitions over residential homes in southern Lebanon.

HRW verified and geolocated the images.

Unlawful under international humanitarian law.

No consequences.

1/ The ICC issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu for war crimes & crimes against humanity in Gaza.

The US response? Sanctions against the prosecutor, the judges, organisations cooperating with the court.

Accountability is being dismantled in real time & the costs go well beyond Palestinians. 🧡
