".
Since its establishment on 1 July 2002, the International Criminal Court (ICC) has had an exclusive worldwide mandate for prosecuting the perpetrators of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. In spite of its efforts, professionalism and resolve, it has now reached a critical point with regard to its political and financial situation. It is being subjected to unfair, politically motivated attacks with increasing frequency, its arrest warrants are often ignored, and its current budget is inadequate for its requirements.
The European Union is a constant champion of the ICC: ever since its establishment, the EU has provided it with political, diplomatic, financial and logistical support and, at the moment, is helping to implement the universality and integrity of the Rome Statute by helping the court to be independent and to function effectively. It is our endeavour and one of our priorities to help the court resolve some pressing issues and to overcome the political and financial pressures it currently faces. Freedom, the rule of law and the fight against impunity are the pillars of sustainable peace as they guarantee human rights and fundamental freedoms. I believe that justice should be regarded as an indispensable element in sustaining peace and resolving conflicts. Therefore, in this case too, full and prompt cooperation between the interested parties, including the EU Member States, and the Court are essential to the effectiveness and success of the international criminal justice system."@en1
