Borrell calls for not undermining the International Criminal Court
The High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, called on the international community, especially the European Union, not to undermine the International Criminal Court.
This came in press statements, Thursday, before the second meeting of the "Global Alliance for the Implementation of the Two-State Solution (Palestinian and Israeli)" initiative by the European Union and Belgium.
The European official said he wanted to hold the meeting on his last day in office before handing over Kaya Kallas.
"I did not want to leave my job in Brussels without holding this meeting, tomorrow I will leave, but I ask everyone who works to support the two-state solution to continue working hard, because without this there will be no peace in the Middle East," he said.
He stressed that the instability in the Middle East will affect Europe closely, adding: "I would like to appeal to all members of the international community, especially members of the European Union, we cannot undermine the International Criminal Court."
He added: "This is the only way to achieve global justice and implement accountability, and the International Criminal Court will be of no use if Europeans do not provide it with their full support without delay."
It is noteworthy that on November 21, the International Criminal Court issued two arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Galant for committing crimes against humanity and war crimes in Gaza.
