"The purpose of the International Criminal Court (ICC), created on 1 July 2002, is to prosecute the perpetrators of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. In order to discourage crime, it is crucial that criminals be aware of how difficult it is to escape trial for atrocities they have committed. However, at a time when the ICC should be working full-time, it is suffering from a lack of financial support to sustain its activity. This report, drafted by Mr Kreissl-Dörfler, concerns the European Union’s support for the ICC, particularly following the growing number of trials that need to be held in the countries of the southern Mediterranean, if the Arab Spring is to be a reality after thousands of people have given their lives for it. The ICC must extend its activities to all countries in which crimes against humanity take place. However, in order to achieve this, the European Union and its Member States – or rather, its supporting pillars – need to establish conditions for it to work, and to successfully motivate other countries, such as China and the United States, to fully adopt the legislation implementing the ICC. I therefore voted for this report."@en1
