EU urged to invoke Blocking Statute to shield ICC from US sanctions

Original: Defend the International Criminal Court, block tRump’s sanctions We ask you to immediately apply the # EU Blocking Statu

Campaigners are calling on the European Union to immediately apply the EU Blocking Statute to defend the International Criminal Court against US sanctions. The statute would prohibit European companies from complying with American restrictive measures, protecting the court's work and its partners in Europe from Washington's penalties.

Why now: US sanctions targeting the ICC have prompted calls for the EU to use its Blocking Statute as a countermeasure.
