lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this report because the universal nature of justice implies its even application, free of exceptions and double standards. The International Criminal Court (ICC) is the first permanent international judicial body which is able to try individuals for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes, thus making a decisive contribution to the upholding of human rights and to international law by combating impunity, playing a crucial deterrent role and sending a clear signal that impunity for these crimes will not be tolerated. Moreover, nowhere should there be a safe haven for those who have committed genocide, crimes against humanity, extrajudicial executions, war crimes, torture, mass rape or forced disappearances. The European Parliament stresses the need for the ICC to expand its focus beyond situations of armed conflict and, more proactively, to investigate human rights emergencies that escalate to the level of crimes against humanity, as well as situations where domestic authorities are demonstrably unwilling to investigate, prosecute and punish alleged offenders. Despite the strong level of support provided by the EU and its Member States to the Court, much remains to be done on a political and diplomatic level, as well as a practical level, to help the Court overcome the challenges and difficulties it currently faces."@en1
