The principle is simple: rule of law, not of men, at home and around the world.
Today I met with Judge Tomoko Akane, president of the International Criminal Court. The ICC plays an essential role in delivering justice to the victims of some of the world’s most horrific crimes. Independence and impartiality are crucial characteristics of the Court’s work. The EU remains committed to ending impunity and ensuring accountability for all violations of international law.

It was a great conservative thinker, Edmund Burke, who made clear the risks of “governing in the name of a theory”, and who pointed out the folly of destroying institutions and abandoning the rule of law. We are living through times of unprecedented challenge around the world. We shall need all our strength of heart, mind, and soul.
