This is absolute bullshit.
Plus, as of yesterday, we don’t have a functioning government.
This strongly reeks like propaganda…
The Dutch government has no say about the ICC, it only hosts a location like an embassy.
I hope they have more backbone than that. The world needs a working ICC, and the only ones against it are those who know they are guilty.
The reason the Netherlands is said to be negotiating on this matter are the sanctions imposed by the US against thirteen judges and prosecutors, and against the ICC as a whole. This was done primarily in retaliation for the Court’s investigation into Israeli crimes in Palestine, and the resulting arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant. The undermining of the International Criminal Court by the US and Israel has now been going on for almost twelve years.
The Court has been on the US sanctions list since 9 October. However, a number of sanctions will not come into force until 7 April 2027. These would largely paralyse the institution, leaving the European Union with virtually no choice but to activate the far-reaching blocking mechanism. This law obliges European parties to disregard US sanctions and to continue supplying services and goods to the Court and its staff.
The EU, and EU countries like the Netherlands, are, however, reluctant to activate the mechanism due to the consequences it could have for European businesses. For instance, European banks that disregard the US sanctions might find it much more difficult to do business in the US – or could face sanctions themselves.
Hell no! You won’t get relief from bullying from this. You will only earn more bullying and more warcrimes and crimes against humanity.
If you are EVER going to take a stand, this is where you draw the line.
Jfc they learnt nothing since WWII, you give Nazis a finger and they’ll rip your whole arm off, spineless bitches!
Pretty sure that’s exactly why they’re going after it 😭
Worse, they’ll try to exterminate an entire group of people.
Dutch government denies this I think.
Fuck these criminal assholes!
Excuse me?!
I mean who would ever need human rights.
On one hand, this sucks. On the other hand, the ICC is useless anyway so it’s not like anything would actually change.
Tom Berendsen (CDA) is the minister Buitenlandse Zaken

CDA is part of the EVP party in the European Parliament. Christian democrats / liberal conservatives are their political standing.
Jesus Christ, Netherlands.
They don’t want to play with the Law? too bad, Law may still want to play with em.
We needs that independent criminal record, more than ever. Maybe not to put some jails, but to pinpoint who doing bad, and show others to take own actions, sanctions, limits, own morality to their own hands.
Just an example, Greenland or Canada don’t want to trade with murica? why? could something be up why not? hmmmm /s - /s as most of us knows well why many don’t wants to do that without a question mark at the end.
how would that work? are the Netherlands sole keepers of the ICC? no other nations have any say in that or what?
by the way why would the institution need dismantling when it’s clear they have absolutely no way to execute their functions over the people in power
So much for a social Netherlands. I’d call it asociaal Netherlands atp.
