In the context of the fight against impunity, the European Parliament has always been a strong supporter of the ICC as an impartial and independent multilateral institution mandated to deliver justice to the victims of international crimes (crimes against humanity, war crimes, genocide). The meeting will be an opportunity to discuss latest developments of the international criminal justice architecture in a changing geopolitical landscape.

On 19 March the Subcommittee on Human Rights, in collaboration with the Legislative Dialogue Unit of the Directorate for Relations with National Parliaments, will hold an interparliamentary committee meeting with national parliaments on the topic: "Coordination between the EU and its Member States in Strengthening the EU’s Role at the UN and Exchanging Best Practices in the Human Rights Field."
