The EU assessed the decision of the United States to lift the sanctions against the ICC

Borrell, in a written statement, called the decision "an important step" that "underscores the US's commitment to a rules-based international order."

“The ICC plays an important role in bringing justice to the victims of the world's worst crimes.

Defending the continuity and independence of the ICC is critical to its efficient and smooth operation, ”he said.

Earlier, US President Joe Biden overturned the decree on sanctions and visa restrictions against employees of the International Criminal Court.

The ICC welcomed this decree by Biden.
