The International Criminal Court (ICC) plays a pivotal role in this regard. Its mandate is to address the most serious international crimes whenever the conditions for its jurisdiction are met. Any pressure exerted on the Court’s independence must therefore be taken seriously.

And although the largest waves of border crossings may now be behind us, the consequences of the crisis have not disappeared. Europe has both... 24/06/2026 | 12:37:28 Mister President, Dear colleagues, Artificial intelligence is one of the most significant technological developments of our time.
