ICC officials' immunity and EU Blocking Statute activation

This procedure examines the legal protections and immunities of International Criminal Court (ICC) officials. It explores how the EU's 'Blocking Statute'—designed to protect EU operators from extraterritorial laws of third countries—can be used to support the ICC and strengthen the EU's strategic autonomy in upholding international law.

This affects EU legal operators and diplomatic relations with non-EU countries. It aims to prevent foreign sanctions from interfering with the judicial independence of the ICC and the legal obligations of EU member states.
