lpv:translated text	"It goes without saying that we condemn any criminal act committed against humanity. At the same time, however, we maintain that justice should be dispensed at national level and within the framework of the UN, and always on the basis of international law. Unfortunately, the way in which the ICC is organised and operates cannot safeguard political impartiality; on the contrary, it reinforces the risk of developing ‘justice’ which is pre-determined by those who dispense it. This motion for a resolution has no hesitation in calling for pressure to be exerted on the Member States to make a financial contribution to the ICC, to apply national legislation on cooperation with the ICC and to conclude framework agreements for the enforcement of the Court’s sentences. These proposals target the sovereign rights of the Member States; at the same time, they harbour the risk of marginalising both the UN and UN Security Council and the EU Council by promoting the concentration of authority in the ICC and the special representatives appointed by the High Representative. What is particularly worrying is the intention to give the ICC the right to intervene in the internal affairs of states based solely on certain ‘suspicions’ and to develop ‘preventive action’, which, of course, harbours the risk of promoting foreign interests. It is for these reasons that I abstained from voting."@en1
