Implementing Legislation On 23 September 2008, the draft bill to implement the Rome Statute in the national legislation of Brazil, which includes both complementarity and cooperation obligations, was submitted to Câmara dos Deputados, the lower house of the National Congress of Brazil. After approval in this house, the bill will be discussed in Senado, the upper house of Congress, before final ratification by the President. In 2007, another draft had been submitted to Câmara dos Deputados. Both drafts were then analysed in a joint process which ultimately resulted in an incorporated text. The Constitutional, Justice and Citizenhip Commission at the Chamber of Deputies unanimously approved the text in 2009 but it has yet to be presented to the plenary.
