On Nov 9, 2026, Kalas said the European Union is considering alternative solutions to ensure the International Criminal Court can continue functioning amid disputes with the United States.

The court already has a high‑profile suspect, Ahmed Haroun, who remains wanted for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Darfur during 2003‑2004.

The move appears to signal the EU’s effort to preserve the ICC’s role despite the ongoing US disagreement, a development that could affect the court’s future operations.
