EU urged to use blocking statute against US sanctions on ICC
Original: Nou kom maar door met die blokkeerstatuut of is de EU ๐ช๐บ werderom te laf om terug te slaan ๐ฅ op de neus ๐ van die clown
The United States has announced sanctions against the International Criminal Court in The Hague, in an apparent attempt to 'paralyse' the institution. In the Netherlands, commentators are pressing the EU to respond with its blocking statute, which forbids European companies and individuals from complying with foreign sanctions. Critics accuse the EU of weakness, asking whether it will push back or once again shy away from confronting Washington over the measures.
Why now: Fresh US sanctions on the ICC have reignited debate about whether the EU will actually deploy its blocking statute in response.
