European Union (EU) top diplomat Josep Borrell has also addressed the ICC’s arrest warrants for Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, saying EU states must respect the ruling whether they “like it or not”, reports Al Jazeera.
“This is not something you can pick and choose,” said Borrell. “You cannot applaud when the court goes against Putin and remain silent when the court goes against Netanyahu.
“I ask members of the European Union to fulfil their obligations under international law,” he added. “If the Europeans don’t support the ICC, then there will not be any hope for justice.”
