Declaration
by the High Representative, Federica Mogherini, on behalf of the EU on the
occasion of the Day of International Criminal Justice, 17 July 2016
Justice is
one of the pillars of our societies: it safeguards equality, cohesion,
resilience. International Criminal Justice Day is the occasion to remember
those who are seeking justice for appalling crimes, including crimes against
humanity, and the many dedicated and courageous individuals who work in the
field of international justice.
An
international system of criminal justice - complementing and reinforcing
national justice systems - is essential to deter those contemplating the most
serious crimes, to enable victims to obtain justice and redress, to rebuild
nations ravaged by war and to support post-conflict reconciliation.
17 July
marks the date when the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court was
first adopted in 1998. The EU and its Member States remain committed to
promoting the efforts to end impunity for the most heinous atrocities and
encourage the universal acceptance of the jurisdiction of the International
Criminal Court.
Δήλωση της Ύπατης Εκπροσώπου κας Federica Mogherini, εξ
ονόματος της ΕΕ, με την ευκαιρία της ημέρας της διεθνούς ποινικής δικαιοσύνης,
στις 17 Ιουλίου 2016
Η δικαιοσύνη είναι ένας από τους πυλώνες της κοινωνίας μας·
διασφαλίζει την ισότητα, τη συνοχή και την ανθεκτικότητα. Η ημέρα της διεθνούς
ποινικής δικαιοσύνης είναι η ευκαιρία για να θυμόμαστε όσους επιζητούν
δικαιοσύνη για ειδεχθή εγκλήματα, καθώς και για εγκλήματα κατά της
ανθρωπότητας, και τους πολλούς αφοσιωμένους και θαρραλέους πολίτες που
εργάζονται στον τομέα της διεθνούς δικαιοσύνης.
Ένα διεθνές σύστημα ποινικής δικαιοσύνης –που συμπληρώνει
και ενισχύει τα εθνικά συστήματα δικαιοσύνης- είναι αναγκαίο προκειμένου να
αποτρέπονται όσοι απεργάζονται τα πλέον σοβαρά εγκλήματα, να παρέχεται η
δυνατότητα στα θύματα να δικαιώνονται και να αποζημιώνονται, να ανοικοδομούνται
έθνη κατεστραμμένα από τον πόλεμο και να υποστηρίζεται η συμφιλίωση μετά από
συγκρούσεις.
Η 17η Ιουλίου είναι η ημερομηνία κατά την οποία θεσπίστηκε
για πρώτη φορά το Καταστατικό της Ρώμης του Διεθνούς Ποινικού Δικαστηρίου το
1998. Η ΕΕ και τα κράτη μέλη της εμμένουν στη δέσμευσή τους να προωθήσουν τις
προσπάθειες για τον τερματισμό της ατιμωρησίας των πλέον αποτρόπαιων θηριωδιών
και ενθαρρύνουν την παγκόσμια αποδοχή της δικαιοδοσίας του Διεθνούς Ποινικού
Δικαστηρίου.

Remarks by
President Donald Tusk at the press conference after the 11th ASEM summit In
Ulaanbaatar
First of
all let me thank President Elbegdorj and his dedicated team for the efficient
organisation of the 11th ASEM Summit. Thank you also for sharing a beautiful
and unforgettable insight into Mongolian culture at the Naadam festival
yesterday.
Unfortunately,
this summit has not only been unforgettable because of the Naadam festival but
also because of the dramatic events that have shaken the world during the last
days: the attack in Nice and the military coup attempt in Turkey. Both events
serve as a strong reminder of the importance of global dialogue, cooperation,
mutual respect and understanding. Let the message of solidarity of our entire
community in the face of terrorism and violence be an important message to the
world.
This
morning we discussed the situation in Turkey among the EU leaders and
institutions present here at the ASEM summit. Turkey is a key partner for the
European Union. The EU fully supports the democratically elected government,
the institutions of the country and the rule of law. We call for a swift return
to Turkey's constitutional order. We continue to follow closely the
developments and to coordinate with the 28 EU Member States.
Let me now
return to the ASEM summit. The European Union attaches great importance to our
partnership with Asia. ASEM represents 60% of the world's population, trade and
GDP. We have weight. The question is how we use it for positive purposes. This
is also what we discussed in Beijing earlier this week at our bilateral
EU-China summit in a very constructive and friendly atmosphere. Another sign of
the importance of strong, close relations between Europe and Asia.
Together we
can make a difference. The terrorist attacks in Nice on July 14 and in Dhaka
only two weeks ago demonstrate all too clearly that terrorism is a global
phenomenon affecting both our continents and beyond. It requires global
cooperation to fight this inhumane, violent plague. That is why I welcome our
joint statement on counter-terrorism as an important result of this summit.
We also
addressed the global challenge of migration. This is an issue that will feature
on the agenda of the G20 Summit hosted by China in September.
How to
strengthen Asia-Europe cooperation on international and regional security of
common interest has also been central to our talks. Developments in our
respective neighbourhoods, in particular, Ukraine, South China Sea and the
Korean Peninsula reflect the need to protect the rules-based international
order, in the best interest of our peoples.
This Summit
marked 20 years of bringing Asia and Europe together. We now leave Ulaanbaatar
with a renewed will to strengthen our partnership further in view of the next
ASEM Summit destination in Brussels in 2018. So let me conclude by once again
thanking President Elbegdorj and the people of Mongolia for their hospitality
and excellent job in organising this
important summit. Thank you.
