International Criminal Court Wins E.U.'s Top Human Rights Prize

Original: International Criminal Court Wins E.U.’s Top Human Rights Prize

The International Criminal Court has been awarded the European Union's top human rights prize, the European Parliament's human rights award. The honour recognises the court's role in prosecuting war crimes and crimes against humanity, and comes as it faces intense political pressure, including sanctions from the United States over its handling of cases involving Israel and other matters.

Why now: The award is being seen as a statement of European support for the court at a moment when it is under unprecedented political attack.
