Mr. Niall MacDermot, the Secretary-General of the ICJ has issued the following press statement today.
The ICJ has received with dismay news of the tragic events in recent days in Romania, and calls upon the government of Romania to take urgent action to bring to justice all those responsible for these disturbances.
