ICC awarded European Parliament's Sakharov human rights prize

Original: European human rights award goes to International Criminal Court https://www. upi.com/Top_News/World-News/20 26/10/22/EU

The International Criminal Court has received the Sakharov Prize, the European Union's top honour for human rights work. The award comes as the Hague-based court faces heavy political pressure, including sanctions from the United States over its pursuit of warrants against Israeli leaders and its role in prosecuting war crimes. European lawmakers framed the prize as a defence of international justice at a difficult moment.

Why now: The court is under intense political pressure, including US sanctions, making the EU's show of support newsworthy.
