The European Union has awarded its top human rights prize to the International Criminal Court (ICC), the international tribunal in The Hague that has come under attack from U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration.
The European Parliament announced on Thursday that it was awarding the 2026 Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought to the ICC and its officials.
The decision “recognizes the Court’s important work in upholding international law and justice,” Roberta Metsola, president of the European Parliament, said in a written statement.
