> A Universal Court with Global Support > Ratification and Implementation > Universal Ratification Campaign > URC – TURKEY URC – TURKEY The Coalition for the International Criminal Court (CICC) is calling on Turkey to take the necessary steps to accede to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC). Increased ratifications of the Statute in the region will further strengthen the global voice at the Court and result in a more robust and meaningful participation in the global struggle to establish a truly fair, effective and independent ICC.To date, Europe and the Central Asian Republics have 40 States Parties to the Rome Statute, 26 of which are European Union (EU) countries. The region also has 8 signatories to the Rome Statute (Armenia, the Czech Republic, Krygyzstan, the Kingdom of Monaco, the Republic of Moldova, the Russian Federation, Ukraine and Uzbekistan). Turkey has not signed the Rome Statute. European states and the European Union have been frontrunners in the establishment of the International Criminal Court and their constant efforts will continue to be critical to ensure the ICC will remain a fair and effective Court. The Coalition therefore appeals to Turkey 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! Write a letter to the Prime Minister of Turkey to encourage him to accede to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC).
