In 2006, during a debate in the UN Security Council on protection of civilians in armed conflict, the permanent representative of Greece stated:
Respect for the principles of the rule of law and international humanitarian law and the need to fight impunity are essential for civilian protection. States and non-state actors have the obligation to respect international humanitarian law, human rights law and refugee law and perpetrators should be brought to justice. In this respect the role of the ICC and its impact on those committing such atrocities could be crucial and the international community as well as the States concerned should fully cooperate with it and support its difficult task.
