Netherlands push sovereign software after ICC prosecutor loses Microsoft access

Original: Nachdem der IStGH-Chefankläger wegen US-Sanktionen den Zugriff auf Microsoft-Dienste verlor, machen die Niederlande Erns

After the International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor lost access to Microsoft services under US sanctions, the Netherlands is moving forward with DAWO, a sovereign workplace for public authorities built on NixOS. The system uses open source code, replaces GitHub with Forgejo, and is designed to connect with openDesk. A pilot is underway in municipalities, with officials citing stability and digital independence from US providers.

Why now: US sanctions cutting a senior ICC official off from American software have pushed European governments to speed up plans for digital sovereignty.
