Norway deeply regrets the new US sanctions against ICC judges. Such measures undermine the International Criminal Court as a whole. Norway supports the Court unequivocally and urges all States to refrain from efforts to compromise its ability to perform its mandate impartially and independently.

We strongly condemn Russia’s horrific attacks across Ukraine in recent days. Strikes on residential areas in Kryvyi Rih and Kharkiv follow a deeply disturbing pattern of targeting populated areas. Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, and all those affected.
