> A Universal Court with Global Support > Ratification and Implementation > Universal Ratification Campaign > URC - Lebanon URC - Lebanon The Coalition for the International Criminal Court (CICC) is calling on Lebanon to take the necessary steps to accede to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC). Increased accessions and ratifications of the Statute in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) 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, the MENA region is the most underrepresented region at the ICC. The Arab League, consisting of 22 Arabic-speaking states, has only 3 States Parties to the Rome Statute – Jordan, Djibouti, and the Comoros Islands. The MENA region also has 11 signatories (Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Israel, Kuwait, Morocco, Oman, Syria, UAE and Yemen). Lebanon did not sign the Rome Statute and the Lebanese Coalition for the ICC is one of 11 Coalitions in the MENA region. The region has a growing human rights movement and the Coalition today has over 300 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 all MENA countries. The Coalition therefore appeals to Lebanon to accede to 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.
