> A Universal Court with Global Support > Ratification and Implementation > Universal Ratification Campaign > Bahamas, Grenada and United Arab Emirates Bahamas, Grenada and United Arab Emirates The Coalition for the International Criminal Court (CICC) is calling on the Bahamas and Grenada to take the necessary steps to ratify and accede, respectively, to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC). The Caribbean region has been instrumental to the creation and development of the International Criminal Court. In 1989, during the United Nations' 44th General Assembly, Trinidad and Tobago submitted an agenda item on the establishment of an international criminal court for the Assembly's consideration. This motion - which gained the support of a number of states, including all CARCIOM member states - ultimately resulted in a consensus resolution that called for the creation of an international criminal court. To date, 114 States have ratified or acceded to the Rome Statute system and only four CARICOM States have yet to join the ICC: Bahamas, Grenada, Haiti and Jamaica. In this regard, Caribbean states must take firm action to ratify the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court Take action now! Write a letter to the Prime Ministers of The Bahamas and Grenada to encourage them to ratify the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC). You might like to use the following letters as a guide.

PHILLIP Attorney General Ministry of Legal Affairs "Communal House" 414 H.A. Blaize Street St. George's Grenada Fax: (473) 435 - 2964 Your Excellency: United Arab EmiratesThe Coalition for the International Criminal Court (CICC) is calling on the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to take the necessary steps to ratify the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and Agreement on Privileges and Immunities of the Court (APIC).Increased accessions and ratifications of the Statute in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region would further strengthen the global voice at the Court and result in a more robust and meaningful participation in the worldwide effort 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 states, has only 3 states parties to the Rome Statute - Jordan, Djibouti, and the Comoros Islands. Nine states however have signed the treaty. Though underrepresented, the MENA region has a growing interest in the fight against impunity and the Coalition today has nearly 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 the UAE 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 President of the UAE to encourage him to ratify to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC).
