> A Universal Court with Global Support > Ratification and Implementation > Universal Ratification Campaign > URC - Combined Pacific and MENA URC - Combined Pacific and MENA The Coalition for the International Criminal Court is calling on Bahrain, Morocco, Kiribati, Micronesia, Niue, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Tonga and Tuvalu to ratify the Rome Statute of the ICC as soon as possible.Twelve years after the adoption of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, Pacific states must take firm action to ratify the treaty. To date, eight states in the Pacific are parties to the Rome Statute: Australia, Cook Islands, Fiji, Marshall Islands, Nauru, New Zealand, Samoa and Vanuatu. Despite the region’s under-representation before the ICC, Pacific states continue to work toward fostering further ratifications in the region, as well as increasing efforts to implement the Rome Statute in their respective domestic legislation. The Coalition encourages all states in the Pacific that have yet to join the Court to take the necessary steps to promptly ratify or accede to the Rome Statute and join this new system of international justice. In the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, increased accessions and ratifications would further strengthen the global voice at the Court and result in a more robust and meaningful creased accessions and ratifications of the Statute in participation in the worldwide effort to establish a truly fair, effective, and independent ICC. The MENA region is the most underrepresented region at the ICC. The Arab League, consisting of 22 states, has only 4 states parties to the Rome Statute – the Comoros Islands, Djibouti, Jordan, and Tunisia. Though underrepresented, the MENA region has a growing interest in the fight against impunity and the Coalition today has around 250 active member organizations spread across almost every country in the region. Through its strengthened regional efforts targeting civil society, parliamentarians, governments, media, and others, the Coalition is pushing for an increased number of accessions and ratifications and full implementation of the Rome Statute in MENA countries. The Coalition therefore appeals to Bahrain and Morocco to ratify the Rome Statute and to fully support this first permanent, independent court capable of investigating and bringing to justice individuals who commit the most serious violations of international law, namely war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. Take Action Now! Urge Bahrain, Morocco, Kiribati, Micronesia, Niue, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Tonga and Tuvalu to ratify the Rome Statute as soon as possible!
