#DayOfInternationalCriminalJustice

International law is not an abstract concept, nor a matter of political preference. It is the foundation of a rules-based international order, ensuring that power alone does not determine outcomes.

The ICC is where these ideals are put into practice. For victims of the world’s worst crimes, it provides a path to justice. For countries like Belgium, it is the system we rely upon to protect our security, safeguard our rights and defend our interests.

For these reasons, Belgium will continue to support the international justice system and the ICC for as long as it takes.

@BelgiumMFA

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I welcome the decision by the General Assembly to reform financial rules that were putting the @UN's stability at risk.

The important change will greatly benefit my successor who will no longer be hamstrung by being forced to return funds that were, all too often, never even received in the first place.

It will allow the UN to manage resources in a more predictable & responsible way, and to better deliver on the mandates given by Member States.
