IBA urges states to back ICC
Published in: Legalbrief Today
Date: Mon 23 November 2009
Category: General
Issue No: 2447



The International Bar Association (IBA) has urged States Parties to the Rome Statute to take the lead in supporting and reinforcing the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the Rome Statute system.

The IBA notes that while the ICC must continue striving to fulfil its mandate, states can and should do more to support the court in order to realise the Rome Statute's vision of ending impunity for egregious crimes. The report from the IBA/ICC Monitoring and Outreach Programme, Sustaining the International Criminal Court: Issues for consideration at the 2010 Review Conference and beyond, examines some of the challenges facing the ICC as preparations advance for the 2010 Review Conference in Kampala, Uganda. The IBA views the 2010 Review Conference as an important opportunity for States Parties to reiterate their unwavering commitment to the court. The report highlights a number of components critical to sustaining the court and ensuring its long-term success: robust governance and internal co-ordination; the co-operation of States Parties; and effective and efficient judicial proceedings.
