The Executive Vice President of the Republic, Delcy Rodríguez, advocated that bodies such as the International Criminal Court (ICC) do not fail in their attempt to apply justice in cases such as what is happening today in the Gaza Strip.

“Hopefully, this type of international organization will not perish in the attempt to apply justice, and that it will be a decolonized justice, that it is a depoliticized justice,” he said after delivering a report to the Deputy Prosecutor of the ICC, Mame Mandiaye Niang, in The Hague, on the impact on the health and lives of peoples of unilateral coercive measures in 152 countries, including Venezuela.

He also questioned what is happening today in Gaza, where more than 63,000 people have lost their lives, of whom 4% are women and children. In addition, he pointed out that now hunger has been added to this genocide, “as an instrument of extermination (...) already today 12,000 Palestinian children are suffering from a serious famine, which threatens their existence.”

For this reason, he reaffirmed his complaint about the few actions of a body such as the ICC in these cases to which priority is not given, as is the case with the reports that have been brought to demonstrate how so-called sanctions harm peoples.
