What was said

Von der Leyen welcomes the Sakharov Prize awarded to the International Criminal Court and supports the court and its vital work for a rules-governed world.

I welcome the Sakharov Prize awarded to the International Criminal Court. For victims of the world's gravest crimes, justice means a voice. The @IntlCrimCourt must be free to pursue its mission, independently, and without pressure or intimidation. Europe stands firmly behind President Tomoko Akane, the Court's judges and officials, and their vital work for a world governed by rules.
