International court vows to continue body’s work

The International Criminal Court said Tuesday it will continue to do its work “undeterred,” despite national security adviser John Bolton’s condemnation.

The Netherlands-based court said in a statement it was established by a treaty supported by 123 countries. It said it prosecuted cases only when those countries failed to do so or did not do so “genuinely.”

The court pledged to “continue to do its work undeterred, in accordance with those principles and the overarching idea of the rule of law.”
