Spain Asks EU To Shield ICC From US Sanctions Over Gaza Investigation
Spain has asked the European Commission to activate its blocking statute to prevent Europeans from complying with US sanctions on the International Criminal Court, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said on Wednesday.
Sanchez made the announcement on X, saying the move was prompted by Washington’s sanctions on the court over its investigation into Israel’s actions in Gaza.
The EU’s blocking statute is a legal mechanism designed to shield European individuals and entities from the extraterritorial reach of sanctions imposed by third countries.
