The annual meeting of the International Criminal Court in The Hague is marked by uncertainty and tension as delegates from 125 member states confront a series of unprecedented challenges. The court faces mounting pressure from sanctions imposed by the United States, arrest warrants for high-profile leaders, and the withdrawal or planned exit of several member countries. The absence of a chief prosecutor, ongoing investigations into internal misconduct, and concerns about the court's future effectiveness have cast a shadow over proceedings. Despite these obstacles, court officials remain defiant, seeking renewed commitments from member states to support the institution's mission of prosecuting the world's most serious crimes.
