Spain asks European Commission to block US sanctions on ICC

Spain has asked the European Commission to activate its blocking statute to prevent compliance with U.S. sanctions ⁠on the International Criminal Court over its investigation into Israel's actions in Gaza, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said on ⁠X on Wednesday.

The EU's blocking statute is a legal ⁠mechanism designed to protect Europeans from the ⁠extraterritorial effects of sanctions imposed ⁠by third countries.
