EU awards top rights prize to International Criminal Court

The European Union has awarded its top rights prize, the Sakharov prize, to the International Criminal Court.

The prize is a recognition of the court's efforts to uphold human rights and the rule of law, and it highlights the EU's commitment to these values. This move may strain relations with the US, particularly with President Donald Trump, who has been critical of the court.
