The European Parliament awarded the 2026 Sakharov Prize to the International Criminal Court for its commitment to international law and justice. Roberta Metsola highlighted the Court's role in addressing serious crimes like genocide and war crimes. The award emphasizes the Court's investigations and prosecutions, reinforcing its importance in the global fight against impunity. Concerns were raised about sanctions imposed by the US on Court officials, which European lawmakers view as threats to international judicial systems. The Sakharov Prize, established in 1988, recognizes efforts in human rights and democracy, with the award ceremony scheduled for December in Strasbourg.
