The award ceremony will take place on December 16 in Strasbourg. The award comes at a time when the International Criminal Court is facing strong pressure from the United States. The American administration has announced new sanctions against the court, and according to one source, President Donald Trump is pushing for its abolition. ekonomika.pravda.sk ↗
When announcing the prize, Metsola emphasized the importance of international institutions and multilateral cooperation. The International Criminal Court, based in The Hague, prosecutes individuals suspected of serious international crimes, but its representatives did not provide further comments on the award in the information provided.
