The Netherlands greatly values the close cooperation with the court. Secretary-General Christiaan Rebergen reaffirmed our support today in his meeting with ICC Registrar Osvaldo Zavala Giler. 2/2

On International Criminal Justice Day, the Netherlands celebrates the important work of the @IntlCrimCourt in the fight against impunity. As host country & State Party, we stand behind the ICC. International courts must be able to carry out their mandate without interference. 1/2

On 17 July, we remember the 298 victims of the downing of flight #MH17. Our thoughts are with their families and loved ones.

As we honour their memory, we reaffirm our enduring commitment to truth, justice and accountability.

Russia doesn't act alone. It relies on an ecosystem of intelligence services, cybercriminals and proxy actors to target the EU, its Member States and partners.

The EU has just exposed this network and responded with its largest-ever package of cyber sanctions. Here's what you need to know.

We support the critical role of the United Nations in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, and call on our partners to join this initiative.

As host nation and State Party, the Netherlands stands behind the International Criminal Court and its staff. International courts must be able to carry out their mandate without interference.

The EU is banning Sudanese gold from the European market through sanctions. This reinforces our call for a ceasefire and meaningful peace negotiations. Sudanese gold should benefit the Sudanese people, not fuel violence.

Russia’s malicious cyber activities threaten our security and seek to destabilise Europe. Today, the EU sanctioned 13 individuals & entities behind these attacks. I have also summoned the Russian Ambassador in the Netherlands to explain Russia’s actions.

Today, in the Hague, we commemorated the victims of the Srebrenica genocide.

31 years later, remembrance remains a shared responsibility. We honour the victims, stand with survivors and their families, and reaffirm the importance of confronting the past with honesty and dignity

[Tom Berendsen @ministerBZ]

Two days of meetings with Allies and partners confirmed what this Summit was about: delivering on the commitments we made in The Hague. Europe is stepping up by investing more, building stronger capabilities and taking greater responsibility within NATO. 1/2

[Tom Berendsen @ministerBZ]

Important to meet in the NATO-Ukraine Council shortly after a new wave of Russian attacks on Kyiv. Ukraine continues to need our urgent support, particularly in air defence. This is also in our own interest: Ukraine is defending Europe’s security. 1/2

[Tom Berendsen @ministerBZ]

Today’s security challenges do not stop at the borders of NATO. Good to meet with our Gulf partners. From maritime security to defence innovation, there is much we can achieve together. Strong partnerships are essential in an increasingly interconnected security environment.

[Sjoerd Sjoerdsma @ministerBHOS]

Constructive meeting with Minister Wang Wentao. Good to hold a Joint Economic Committee again in Beijing after six years. We discussed opportunities for cooperation, but also concerns around a level playing field for Dutch companies, market access, and economic dependencies. 1/2

[Netherlands Mission in Geneva @NLinGeneva]

Today, the UN Human Rights Council adopted the resolution "Freedom of Opinion and Expression" by consensus.

#KingdomNL is proud that the resolution reflects contemporary challenges to this right and calls for enhanced investigations on violations against journalists. #HRC62

[Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs 🇳🇱 @DutchMFA]

No country can guarantee its security alone. The challenges we face, demand collective answers.

The @NATO Summit in #Ankara builds on the commitments made at the 2025 NATO Summit in The Hague.

That is why our support for Ukraine remains unwavering. Ukraine is defending not only its own freedom and sovereignty, but also Europe’s security. Together with our Allies, the Netherlands will continue to support Ukraine.

[Tom Berendsen @ministerBZ]

Last year, NATO made historic commitments in The Hague. Ankara is the summit where we deliver. For the Netherlands, the goal is clear: a Europe that takes greater responsibility within @NATO, working closely with the United States. A stronger Europe makes a stronger NATO
