The Subversion of the International Criminal Court
This opinion piece by Josep Borrell, published on July 17, 2026, warns that the International Criminal Court (ICC) chief prosecutor, already under US sanctions for securing an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, now faces potential removal. Borrell argues that this represents a direct attack on the ICC's judicial independence and that if member states fail to defend the court now, they may lose the opportunity to do so. The article highlights the escalating pressure on the ICC and the broader geopolitical implications for international law and accountability.
