Albania joined an international declaration of 79 states expressing support for the International Criminal Court, following Donald Trump's decision to order sanctions against employees of this court.

The joint statement came hours after Trump signed an executive order imposing financial sanctions and visa restrictions against Hague Tribunal staff and their family members, claiming the court has unfairly targeted the US and Israel.

“We, the States Parties to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, reaffirm our full support for the independence, impartiality and integrity of the International Criminal Court,” the statement reads. “The Court serves as a vital pillar of the international justice system and guarantees accountability for the most serious international crimes and justice for victims,” the joint statement reads.

“Today, the court is facing unprecedented challenges,” the letter reads. “The sanctions against the court, its officials and staff or those who cooperate with it have been adopted in response to actions by which the court has implemented its mandate in accordance with the Rome Statute,” the statement further reads.

President Trump signed an executive order on February 6 after an attempt to pass a law in Congress was blocked by Democrats to impose sanctions, which in Albania are widely known as "nongrata", on International Criminal Court employees who have investigated cases involving American citizens or allies, in this case, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.

Both were wanted by the court on charges of crimes against humanity committed during the Gaza War. Hamas chief Ibrahim Al-Masri, who has since been killed by Israel during the fighting, was also indicted.

The court was founded in 2002 and among 125 states, Albania is also a party.
