GUE/NGL MEPs have today hailed Palestine’s historic accession to the International Criminal Court as a historic moment in the Palestinian people’s struggle for justice, freedom and peace.

The ICC is one of the international legal instruments promoted by the European Union in order to foster its values of accountability and peace. As stated in the EU’s Common Position on the ICC, the EU is formally committed to advancing universal support for the ICC by promoting the widest possible participation in it.

Along with MEPs from other political groups, the MEPs have called on EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini to join them in welcoming Palestine’s ratification of the Rome Statute and its accession to the International Criminal Court.
