Irish leaders, including Tanaiste Simon Harris, expressed concern over the recent US executive order targeting the ICC, following its actions against Israel. Irish Premier Micheal Martin criticized the move, underscoring Ireland's support for international courts and asserting no malicious agenda within the ICC. This context arises amid the ICC's investigations into alleged war crimes by Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu in Gaza. The situation has led to anticipation of potential economic repercussions for Ireland, as Harris prepares for any impacts of US tariffs.
"Ireland has been a strong supporter of the international courts system and international humanitarian law."
"We do need international rule of law. There are challenges and there are disputes... but I believe the people working in the ICC are acting in good faith."
