The International Criminal Court:
Ratification and Implementation
After the adoption of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court in July 1998, we began intensive efforts to get 60 countries to ratify the treaty so that it could enter into force and the ICC could be set up. As part of our ratification campaign, we regularly travel to different parts of the world to meet with and offer technical assistance to parliamentarians, government members, senior officials and local groups to raise awareness of the ICC and to assist with the process of ratification and domestic implementation of the Rome Statute.
As of May 14, 2003, 90 countries have ratified the Rome Statute for the ICC. See if your country is one of them.
