Hours after the Nobel Peace Prize went to a former international judge, Trump tried to destroy the court that has a warrant on Netanyahu. But Europe can derail his plan. Sign to call on EU leaders to block his sanctions and protect the ICC from Trump’s attack! The threat is clear: US companies have six months to stop working with the International Criminal Court (ICC). In practice, that means the court won’t be able to pay its staff or communicate by email, and it might cease to exist. From the arrest warrant issued for Benjamin Netanyahu to the upcoming trial of former Philippine dictator Rodrigo Duterte, the ICC investigates and holds leaders accountable for the world’s worst crimes. If Trump succeeds, countless victims could be left with nowhere to turn and no access to justice. The future of international criminal justice is at stake. But Europe can still save the ICC. The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, can activate a legal shield that would block these US sanctions in Europe. This tool has been used before. Sign now, and next week, we’ll take our petition straight to Ms von der Leyen's desk in Brussels!

Dear friends,

The threat is clear: US companies have six months to stop working with the International Criminal Court (ICC). In practice, that means the court won’t be able to pay its staff or communicate by email, and it might cease to exist.
From the arrest warrant issued for Benjamin Netanyahu to the upcoming trial of former Philippine dictator Rodrigo Duterte, the ICC investigates and holds leaders accountable for the world’s worst crimes.
If Trump succeeds, countless victims could be left with nowhere to turn and no access to justice. The future of international criminal justice is at stake.
But Europe can still save the ICC. The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, can activate a legal shield that would block these US sanctions in Europe. This tool has been used before.
Sign now, and next week, we’ll take our petition straight to Ms von der Leyen's desk in Brussels!

When Navi Pillay won the Nobel Peace Prize in Trump’s place, she dedicated it to "all the survivors of international crimes."
So, in the name of justice, and in the names of all the victims from Ukraine to Gaza, from Darfur to Afghanistan, we must do everything we can to save the ICC.
We want to act fast. And to make it happen, we need you, Terezinha.
