German Foreign Minister Johann Wadeful announced that Germany will not leave the International Criminal Court (ICC). "Of course, we will not do that. This is an important institute," Vadeful said on Deutschlandfunk radio station. Thus, he rejected US President Donald Trump's call to withdraw from the ICC. "Honestly, I do not understand the essence of this call. This refers to the areas where, unfortunately, we really have to disagree with the policy of the American administration," the German Foreign Minister admitted. He emphasized that "this judicial system is as necessary at the international level as before". "Therefore, it is quite obvious that we support the International Criminal Court in this matter," Vadeful concluded. Yesterday, Trump, speaking from the podium of the UN General Assembly, called on all countries to withdraw from the ICC and called it a "rejected institution". The International Criminal Court was founded on the basis of the 1998 Rome Statute. It is not part of the United Nations and is accountable to the countries that have ratified the charter. Among the states that are not parties to the charter are Russia (signed but not ratified), the United States (signed but later withdrew its signature), and China (did not sign the charter).
