As the Assembly of States Parties convenes, Al-Haq, Al Mezan Center for Human Rights (Al Mezan) and the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) express our grave concern regarding the sustained harassment, intimidation, threats, and sanctions directed by the United States (U.S.) and Israel against officials of the International Criminal Court (ICC), as well as against non-governmental organisations and individuals cooperating with the Court. Such actions directly undermine the independence of the judiciary, obstruct the Court’s mandate under the Rome Statute, and threaten the safety and integrity of all those engaged in the pursuit of justice.
We call on the President of the Assembly of States Parties to the Rome Statute to unequivocally condemn the U.S. sanctions imposed against our human rights organisations who have been leading the work from Palestinian civil society in cooperating with the ICC to ensure international criminal accountability for perpetrators of atrocity crimes in Palestine. Draconian U.S. sanctions have been imposed under Executive Order 14203 on our organisations for “directly engag[ing] in efforts by the ICC to investigate, arrest, detain, or prosecute Israeli nationals, without Israel’s consent”. By sanctioning our organisations, the U.S. has chosen to safeguard and entrench Israel’s settler-colonial apartheid regime and its unlawful occupation. Our organisations have been indispensable in providing the Office of the Prosecutor (OTP) with information regarding alleged Israeli crimes within the jurisdiction of the Court. The U.S. sanctions represent an act of “tampering with or interfering [ing] with the collection of evidence”, which may amount to “offences against the administration of justice” as stipulated by Article 70 of the Rome Statute.
The Presidency of the Assembly of States Parties (ASP) to the Rome Statute of the ICC plays a crucial role in supporting the Court. As affirmed by the Presidency of the ASP in the past, this support extends to the “Court and its staff as well as those cooperating with it in implementing its judicial mandate.” In the ‘Omnibus Resolution’ (Resolution ICC-ASP/20/Res.5) on “Strengthening the ICC and the ASP”) adopted in December 2021, the ASP expressed again, inter alia, its appreciation of the “invaluable assistance that has been provided by civil society to the Court,” and voiced its concerns “by the recent reports of threats and intimidation directed at some civil society organizations cooperating with the Court.” In addition, the ASP reaffirmed “the importance of supporting all those cooperating with the Court[…] in order to secure the ability of the Court to fulfil its critical mandate of holding accountable perpetrators of the most serious crimes of concern to the international community and delivering justice to victims.”
Although it is clear that the U.S. sanctions targeting our organisations aim to hinder the work of the ICC, there has been no reaction by the ASP. The U.S. sanctions have been rejected and condemned widely, including by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the UN Special Rapporteur on military toxics (at 9:00) renowned legal experts, and numerous reputable civil society and human rights organisations. The ASP should not only join, but lead such principled positions rejecting and condemning these egregious and illegal sanctions.
The U.S. and Israel have been attending the ASP as observer States, despite their continuing efforts to undermine the work of the Court and attack Palestinian CSOs cooperating with it. Palestinian CSOs have repeatedly appealed to the ASP, on several occasions, to condemn such actions, and have warned of further repressive steps if the ASP does not act, but unfortunately no concrete actions or any statement have been issued by the ASP. Authoritarian and repressive regimes have always implemented such tactics of intimidation and harassment of human rights defenders to obstruct their work and this is no exception. Recent reports exposed Israel’s decade-long campaign of spying, hacking of the ICC, as well as, its threats and intimidation against ICC officials, including current and former Prosecutors.
Such extra-legal threats continued on several occasions, including during the ASP’s special session on the review of the amendments on the crime of aggression held at the UN in New York from 7 to 9 July 2025, when the U.S. representative threatened that the US will “use all appropriate and effective diplomatic, political and legal instruments to block ICC overreach.” He further asserted that the U.S. “expect all ICC actions against the United States and our ally Israel –– that is, all investigations and all arrest warrants –– to be terminated”, threatening that “[i]f not, all options remain on the table”.
The right of participation of observer States in the Assembly promotes a key goal of universality, but this participation should be understood as carrying with it responsibilities to act in a manner that respects the court’s mandate. The U.S. sanctions on Palestinian CSOs, apparently at least in part due to their advocacy for justice before the Court, are not compatible with support for the ICC’s mission. Article 112 of the Rome Statute and Rule 94 of the Rules of Procedure of the Assembly of States Parties make clear that participation of non-States Parties as observers is a privilege extended at the Assembly’s discretion, not a right. Where conduct by such states is manifestly incompatible with the object and purpose of the Rome Statute, the Assembly is entitled — and indeed obliged — to reconsider such invitations in order to safeguard the Court’s integrity.
In light of the persistent and escalating measures taken by the U.S. and Israel to obstruct the Court’s work, we respectfully request that the Presidency place on the agenda of the Assembly, or its Bureau as appropriate, consideration of the suspension or withdrawal of observer invitations extended to these States. Such a step would send a clear and principled signal that the Assembly will not tolerate attempts to intimidate or interfere with the Court, its officials, or those cooperating with it.
Madam President, the ASP proposal for the implementation of recommendation 169 of the Independent Expert Review reaffirmed its commitment to “uphold and defend the principles and values enshrined in the Rome Statute and to preserve its integrity undeterred by any threats or measures against the Court, its officials and those cooperating with it, and renews its resolve to stand united against impunity.” Moreover, the proposal reiterates that the Presidency of the ASP, “bears the main responsibility for coordinating an appropriate response from the Assembly to any threat or attack against the Court, its officials and those cooperating with it, which has the potential to undermine the integrity, effectiveness or impartiality of the Court.” The proposal listed concrete steps that the ASP can take to ensure an immediate response to such attacks, including, issuing a statement, convening an urgent meeting of the Bureau, and proposing additional measures to be adopted by the Bureau, which could include individual or joint statements and other forms of communication and outreach, and other private or public diplomacy initiatives.
We recall that when the Court and its staff were threatened and sanctioned, by the Trump administration under US Executive Order 13928, civil society and human rights defenders from across the world, including ourselves, stood up for the Court and called on the threats to stop and sanctions to be rescinded. Palestinian CSOs have played a vital role in the defence of justice and human rights and played a pivotal role in achieving the State of Palestine’s accession to the Rome Statute. We now call on your support and ask you to respond to the U.S. sanctions and Israel’s latest attacks on the Court, its officials and Palestinian CSOs and defend human rights defenders cooperating with the Court and supporting its mandate. The duty to defend and promote Palestinian victims’ rights to access justice is a shared one. To that end, we will continue to be active stakeholders of the Rome Statute system, continue our cooperation with the Court and support its investigation into the Situation in the State of Palestine.
In conclusion, we call on you to:

Have been keen always on investing and have closely followed the developments in cryptocurrency. After selling our business two months ago, my spouse and I decided to put our savings into Bitcoin, believing it to be a lucrative opportunity. Having been retired for a year now, we felt confident that this investment would secure our financial future. Our research and understanding led us to believe that cryptocurrencies were a safe bet. We were enthusiastic about our decision and anticipated significant returns on our investment. One day, while scrolling through Instagram, we came across an advertisement that seemed very convincing. The ad featured professional-looking graphics and testimonials, which gave the impression that the investment platform was both legitimate and promising. Eager to make the most of our investment, we reached out to the contact provided in the ad. The representatives were persuasive, explaining how their platform had exceptional growth potential and how our investment could easily triple in value. Feeling assured and optimistic, my spouse and I decided to invest a substantial amount of $400,000 USD into this platform. Initially, everything seemed to be going well; we received updates and reports about our supposed gains. However, as time passed, we began to notice discrepancies and irregularities that raised concerns. Our attempts to contact the platform’s support team became increasingly difficult, and the reports we received started to seem less reliable. Eventually, we came to the heartbreaking realization that we had fallen victim to a sophisticated scam. The investment platform, which had promised high returns, was nothing more than a cleverly orchestrated fraud. The feeling of being deceived was devastating, and we were left in a precarious financial situation, with the loss of our entire investment.
