Milan, July 30 (LaPresse) – “Our country has supported the International Criminal Court since its creation”, but “to be effective and credible, the Court must be judicial and not political.” Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said this during Question Time in the Senate. “Italy’s adherence to the Rome Statute has always been based on good faith in fulfilling the obligations arising from it and on respect for international law,” Tajani added, “this also applies to the execution of arrest warrants, governed by the Rome Statute and domestic legislation, in compliance with the rules on international cooperation and judicial assistance.” “Our country supports the mandate, functions and independence of the International Criminal Court,” Tajani concluded, “we will continue to safeguard its authority and credibility, so that it can exercise its functions independently, impartially and effectively.”
