"The International Criminal Court (ICC) has been unanimously supported by the European Union and its Member States. Their efforts have been helping to spread the concept of the universality of human rights, and to increase the visibility of the increasingly widespread belief that even the worst criminals deserve a fair and transparent trial. Several important members of the international community still do not recognise its jurisdiction because they have yet to ratify the Rome Statute. However, on balance, I consider it undeniable that the role of the ICC in combating genocide and other crimes against humanity, and in asserting international criminal law, has been a positive one. I hope that the Union will continue to increase its support for the ICC. I also hope that it will help it to reinforce its authority and improve the quality of its decisions, so that it becomes, over time, a well respected and effective international court."@en1
