In the draft resolution, at the end of paragraph 11.2, insert the following words:

", including through relevant international criminal justice mechanisms where acts of transnational repression may amount to international crimes falling within their jurisdiction;"

Explanatory note

In certain situations, the nature of transnational repression may reach the threshold necessary to trigger the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court. In March, the Prosecutor of the ICC announced the investigation into a situation involving deportation by the Belarusian authorities.
