"The International Criminal Court (ICC) is currently going through a difficult period due to political and financial circumstances beyond its control. It increasingly comes under unfair, politically motivated attacks, its arrest warrants are frequently disregarded, and its current budget is not adequate for its needs. As the EU has been, and continues to be, a staunch supporter of the ICC, the European Union must assist the Court to a greater extent in facing both the political and financial challenges and difficulties.
No one can deny the importance of such an international court which investigates serious cases involving breaches of human rights, genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. Consequently, it is important that an ever increasing number of states acknowledge the authority of the ICC. It has taken 83 years to reach an international agreement and set up the ICC. At the moment, states which have ratified the ICC’s Rome Statute must also regulate the Court’s right to investigate crimes of aggression. Signatory states must harmonise their national legislation with the provisions of the Rome Statute, in keeping with the commitment they have made."@en1
