00:00:59,159 –> 00:01:04,280
The president accused the ICC of illegitimate and buseless actions

17
00:01:04,599 –> 00:01:09,159
investigations targeting the US and its hourly Israel they held

18
00:01:09,239 –> 00:01:13,319
heard abused its power by issuing an arrest warrant for

19
00:01:13,400 –> 00:01:18,079
the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. According to a section

20
00:01:18,239 –> 00:01:23,680
of the executive Order. The ICC President, Judge Tomoko Akade,

21
00:01:23,680 –> 00:01:27,680

continue providing justice and hope to millions of innocent victims

of atrocities across the world. The UN Human Rights Office

24
00:01:36,400 –> 00:01:40,159
said it deeply regretted the US sanctions against the ICC

25
00:01:40,400 –> 00:01:44,359
and called for a reversal of the decision. Israelief Foreign

26

27
00:01:49,200 –> 00:01:55,120
the ISC, calling the court’s actions against Israel immoral and illegitimate.

28
00:01:56,040 –> 00:01:59,719
US Secretary of State Marko Robio will pay his first

29
00:01:59,799 –> 00:02:03,799
bill to the Middle East this month, the State Department said.

30

00:02:17,719 –> 00:02:21,400
US President brought powers to impose asset friezes and travel

34
00:02:21,479 –> 00:02:24,919
bands against ICC staff and their family members if the

35
00:02:25,039 –> 00:02:28,439
US finds that they are involved in efforts to investigate

36
00:02:28,639 –> 00:02:32,759
or prosecute citizens of the US and certain allies. The

37
00:02:32,879 –> 00:02:36,439
US action against the ICC came in response to the

38
00:02:36,479 –> 00:02:40,120

39
00:02:40,199 –> 00:02:44,199
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyagu and his former Defense Minister Yo

40
00:02:44,280 –> 00:02:48,280
Galand for alleged war crimes in Gaza. Excerpts of the

41
00:02:48,319 –> 00:02:52,680
statement of ICC President Judge to Moco Akane following the

42
00:02:52,759 –> 00:02:56,639
issuance of the US executive order seeking to impose sanctions

43
00:02:56,680 –> 00:03:00,680
on the International Criminal Court rates below. I note with

44
00:03:00,879 –> 00:03:04,680
deep regret the issuance by the United States of unexecutive

45
00:03:04,759 –> 00:03:07,680
orders seeking to impose sanctions of the officials of the

46
00:03:07,680 –> 00:03:13,000
International Criminal Court ICC Court, and the Court’s independence and

47
00:03:13,080 –> 00:03:17,439
its impaternity and deprived millions of innocent victims of atrocities

48
00:03:17,439 –> 00:03:21,439
of justice and hope. The ICC is a judicial bond

49
00:03:21,520 –> 00:03:24,680
in which performs functions that align with the interests of

50
00:03:24,719 –> 00:03:29,439
the international community by enforcing and promoting universally recognized rules

51
00:03:29,439 –> 00:03:33,120
of international law, including the law of armed conflicts and

52
00:03:33,240 –> 00:03:37,560
human rights law. As atrocities continue to plant the globe,

53
00:03:37,599 –> 00:03:42,000
affecting the lives of millions of innocent children, women, and men,

54
00:03:42,240 –> 00:03:47,120
the Court has become indispensable. It represents the most significant

55
00:03:47,240 –> 00:03:50,639
legacy of the immense suffering inflated on civilians by the

56
00:03:50,680 –> 00:03:57,319
world wars, the Holocaust, genocides, violence and persecutions. When most

57
00:03:57,400 –> 00:03:59,960
of the states of the world gatherered to draft them

58
00:04:00,039 –> 00:04:03,199
wrong statute the men the dream of many women and

59
00:04:03,360 –> 00:04:08,199
men come true. Today, the ICC is dealing with proceedings

60
00:04:08,199 –> 00:04:12,680
arising from different situations across the world in strict adherence

61
00:04:12,719 –> 00:04:16,720
to the provisions of the Rome Statute. The announced the

62
00:04:16,800 –> 00:04:19,839
executive order is only the latest in a series of

63
00:04:19,959 –> 00:04:24,360
unprecedented and escalatory attacks aiming to undermine the Court’s ability

64
00:04:24,399 –> 00:04:29,399
to administer justice in all situations. Such threats and coressive

65
00:04:29,519 –> 00:04:34,079
margles constitute serials, attacks against the Court, states parties, the

66
00:04:34,160 –> 00:04:38,160
role of law based international order, and millions of victims.

67
00:04:38,639 –> 00:04:42,040
The ICC and its officials from all over the world

68
00:04:42,160 –> 00:04:46,040
realize daily its judicial mandate to determine whether certain individual

69
00:04:46,079 –> 00:04:51,120
conducts within its legitimate jurisdiction give rise to responsibility for

70
00:04:51,240 –> 00:04:56,079
international crimes. We finally reject any attempt to influence the

71
00:04:56,160 –> 00:04:59,720
independence and the impaternity of the Court or to politicize

72
00:04:59,720 –> 00:05:04,079
our judicial function. We have and always will comply only

73
00:05:04,199 –> 00:05:09,399
with the law under all circumstances. The ISS stands family

74
00:05:09,480 –> 00:05:13,160
by its personnel and pledges to continue providing justice and

75
00:05:13,279 –> 00:05:16,720
hope to millions of innocent victims of atrocities across the

76
00:05:16,759 –> 00:05:20,720
world in all situations before it. In the sole interest

77
00:05:20,839 –> 00:05:24,759
of human dignity, I call upon all those who share

78
00:05:24,800 –> 00:05:27,959
the values enshrined in the Statute to stand united in

79
00:05:28,000 –> 00:05:32,279
the Court’s defense. Are one hundred and twenty five states, parties,

80
00:05:32,600 –> 00:05:37,360
civil society, and all nations of the worlds. One lady

81
00:05:37,759 –> 00:05:40,839
greeny you need in a mortgage is away.
