Costa Rica’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, known as Cancillería Costa Rica, has made several public statements on its official Twitter account regarding international justice and diplomatic engagement.
On February 13, 2026, the ministry reaffirmed its support for the International Criminal Court (ICC) and expressed concern over actions targeting court officials. In one post, it stated: “Asimismo, reafirmó su compromiso con el cumplimiento oportuno de sus contribuciones financieras y con la defensa del mandato esencial que desempeña la CPI para garantizar que los crímenes que afectan a la humanidad no queden impunes.” On the same day, the ministry added: “Costa Rica manifestó su profunda preocupación ante las acciones de represalia dirigidas contra funcionarios de la Corte y reiteró su plena solidaridad con la independencia judicial de la institución.”
A day later, on February 14, 2026, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Costa Rica, Dr. Arnoldo André, met with Adel Aljubeir, Saudi Arabia’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs. The meeting was announced in a tweet: “El canciller, Dr. Arnoldo André, sostuvo un encuentro bilateral con el ministro de Estado para Asuntos Exteriores del Reino de Arabia Saudita, @AdelAljubeir. https://t.co/iRVBvecAzn”
The ICC is an international tribunal established to prosecute individuals for crimes such as genocide and crimes against humanity. Costa Rica has historically supported multilateral institutions and international law through both financial contributions and public diplomacy.
