Referring to #UN75, #ICC President recalls that “the need for both the ICC & the @UN originated directly from the horrors of World War II” & both institutions share a common mission: “to achieve a world free of violence and conflict – with human rights for all” #UNGA ⬇

#ICC President Chile Eboe-Osuji: “That is the future that the ICC strives to foster. It is the future that assures that there will be accountability through the rule of law, justice for victims, when atrocities that shock the conscience of humanity have been committed” #UNGA ⬇

“Ironically, the attacks against the ICC by powerful nations are also an emblematic demonstration of the Court’s value for humanity. Those attacks entail a resistance, which shows that the Court is making a difference” – #ICC President Eboe-Osuji in his address to #UNGA ⬇

#ICC President: “We now have this instrument of hope for accountability that was improbably created when a rare opportunity presented itself to do so – during a lucid moment in time. We must spare no effort both to hold on to it and to make it work better” #UNGA ⬇
