The Foreign Ministers of Canada, Denmark, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, and the U.K. have also denounced the sanctions.
In a joint statement that expressed “unwavering support for the independence, impartiality, and integrity of the ICC,” the officials said the sanctions “will have a significant impact on the [ICC’s] work, its dedicated staff, and their families.”
