Above all, this dialogue is an invitation to States Parties:
➡️ Listen to survivors
➡️ Learn from their expertise
➡️ Commit to an International Criminal Court that is inclusive, effective, and genuinely centred on those most affected by Rome Statute crimes.

This #ASP24 side event seeks to highlight a vital truth: Survivors are not passive participants in justice processes.

They are human rights defenders, community leaders, and drivers of change reshaping how we understand justice, reparations, participation, and agency.

To strengthen victims’ rights at the Court, the CICC encourages States to:

☑️ Adequately fund victim's rights to ensure quality victim participation;

☑️ Adopt a victim-centred funding model;

☑️ Promote consistency in victim participation before the Court.
November 25, 2025 at 5:39 PM
#ASP24 will be a key moment to reaffirm the ICC's victim-centred approach.

States Parties are expected to discuss how to:

🔵Strengthen victims’ participation,

🔵Ensure fair & timely reparations, &

🔵Sustain the resources & political will needed to make these rights effective.
November 25, 2025 at 5:39 PM
We urge States to:

☑️ Respect their cooperation obligations & implement a strict “no business as usual” policy with ICC fugitives;

☑️ Reject double standards in the execution of arrest warrants;

☑️ Guarantee accountability & transparency in all non-compliance proceedings.
November 25, 2025 at 5:39 PM
As the ICC faces escalating attacks and threats, it is imperative for States Parties to respect their international obligations and fully cooperate with the Court in arresting and surrendering all ICC suspects.

2025 has also brought significant challenges in the form of non-cooperation, with States Parties, and states operating under ad hoc arrangements, failing to comply with ICC requests for cooperation in the execution of #ArrestWarrants.

We call on States Parties to:

☑️ Adopt a 2026 budget that meets the Court’s real needs;

☑️ Reject politicised budget negotiations that undermines victims’ rights and equal access to justice;

☑️ Recognise that adequate funding is essential to safeguard the ICC's independence.
November 25, 2025 at 5:39 PM
Too often, discussions around the ICC resources needs and its annual budget are disconnected from reality in situation countries.

What looks like a small reduction in budget can mean:

🔵 Understaffed field offices;

🔵 Weakened outreach; and

🔵 Reduced victim participation.
November 25, 2025 at 5:39 PM
➡️ To ensure the Court can serve victims and fulfil its mandate, States Parties must back political support with concrete action at #ASP24, especially by providing sustainable resources across all organs and situations.
November 25, 2025 at 5:39 PM
Ahead of ASP24, the CICC encourages States to:
☑️ Publicly reject sanctions against civil society & the ICC;
☑️ Support CSOs working in Palestine, Afghanistan & beyond;
☑️ Ensure business continuity of the ICC & civil society so they can carry out their work without interference.
November 25, 2025 at 5:39 PM
At the same time, Human Rights Defenders and #NGOVoices driving accountability & justice efforts face increasing hostility, threats, & attacks, including:

🔵 Institutional sanctions against the Palestinian #NGOVoices Al Haq, PCHR, Al Mezan & Addameer.

#ASP24 unfolds against a backdrop of grave attacks against the ICC.

The U.S. has escalated pressure on the ICC, including by sanctioning ICC officials & judges as well as #NGOVoices supporting its work, in a clear attempt to obstruct justice.

#ASP24 is a key moment for States Parties to back the ICC with real diplomatic support and concrete measures.
