A) Objectifs de l’engagement
Ensuring accountability for the most serious crimes of concern to the international community is essential to support a rules-based international order.
The EU and its Member States pledge to:
- support the full implementation of the Rome Statute system, which provides that primary responsibility for bringing offenders to justice lies with States themselves;
- support the work and efficient functioning of the International Criminal Court as an important actor in the global fight against impunity, including by upholding its judicial independence;
- promote the universality and preserve the integrity of the Rome Statute.
B) Plan d’action
The EU and its Member States will:
- include the fight against impunity for the most serious crimes of international concern as one of the shared values of the EU and its partners through the insertion of provisions concerning the ICC and international justice into its relevant agreements with candidate countries and third parties;
- support third States interested in receiving assistance in order to become party to the Rome Statute or to implement it;
- together with the ICC, other interested States, international organizations and non-governmental organizations promote and raise awareness of the ICC.
