Bahamas, Jamaica y Kazajist�n

La Coalici�n por la Corte Penal Internacional le solicita a Bahamas, Jamaica y Kazajist�n que se unan al Estatuto de Roma de la CPI lo antes posible.

Bahamas y Jamaica deben tomar las medidas necesarias para unirse a los 11 Estados de la Comunidad del Caribe que ya son parte al Estatuto de Roma (de los 14 Estados soberanos miembros del CARICOM) y convertirse en un Estado Parte a la Corte Penal Internacional(CPI). La regi�n caribe�a se ha expresado a favor de la justicia internacional, �sta es una gran oportunidad para que estos dos pa�ses se unan a este nuevo sistema para respetar el Estado de derecho y defender los derechos humanos.

Adem�s, la Coalici�n quiere pedirle a Kasajist�n que de los pasos necesarios y adhiera al Estatuto de Roma de la CPI. Asia Central cuenta con un muy baja representaci�n en el sistema de la Corte; s�lo Tayikist�n es Estado Parte. La regi�n cuenta con dos Estados firmantes que a�n deben completar sus procesos de ratificaci�n (Kirguist�n y Uzbekist�n) y con dos Estados que a�n no han firmado el tratado (Kazajist�n y Turkmenist�n). Un mayor n�mero de ratificaciones en Asia Central ayudar�a a fortalecer la voz de la regi�n en la Corte y podr�a significar una mayor participaci�n en la lucha para lograr una CPI m�s justa, efectiva e independiente.

Como Estados Partes, Bahamas, Jamaica y Kazajist�n podr�n participar activamente en la Asamblea de Estados Partes (AEP) a la CPI, en donde los Estados toman importantes decisiones en relaci�n con la administraci�n de la Corte, esto incluye la elecci�n de magistrados, fiscales, otros oficiales de la Corte y la adopci�n del presupuesto de la CPI.
Por todo esto, la Coalici�n quiere pedirle a Bahamas, Jamaica y Kazajist�n que se una al Estatuto de Roma y que den todo su apoyo a la primera corte independiente y permanente capaz de investigar y llevar a la justicia a los culpables de cometer las m�s serias violaciones al derecho internacional, como cr�menes de guerra, cr�menes de lesa humanidad y genocidio.

�Haga algo ahora!

�P�dale a Bahamas, Jamaica y Kazajist�n que ratifiquen el Estatuto de Roma lo antes posible!

P�dale a Costa de Marfil y a M�naco que ratifiquen el Estatuto de Roma lo antes posible!

Your Excellency,
I am writing to respectfully call on your government to promptly ratify the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.
Your Excellency, as you are aware, the Caribbean region played a pivotal role in the establishment of the first permanent international court capable of trying the most heinous crimes known to mankind. The motion set forth in 1989 by Trinidad and Tobago requesting the United Nations General Assembly to consider the establishment of the International Criminal Court gained important support from a number of states, including all CARICOM member states. Since then, the Caribbean region has continued to be a strong supporter of the Rome Statute system, and to date, only three CARICOM states � The Bahamas, Jamaica and Haiti� have yet to ratify the Statute.
With Guatemala�s recent accession to the Rome Statute on 2 April 2012, there are now 121 states parties to the treaty, demonstrating that the International Criminal Court is steadily advancing toward universality. Each additional ratification contributes toward the reduction of safe havens for the authors of these gross human rights violations and increases state cooperation with the ICC. Moreover, as it celebrates its tenth anniversary, the Court�s work load continues to grow. On 14 March 2012, it issued its landmark first judgment in The Prosecutor vs. Thomas Lubanga Dyilo case, setting an important precedent that resonated globally. The Court is also conducting seven other investigations, and eight preliminary examinations.
Complementarity, one of the most central tenets of the Rome Statute system, recognizes the primary jurisdiction of states in investigating and prosecuting individuals who have allegedly committed crimes that fall under the jurisdiction of the ICC. In this context, ratification of the Statute also offers states an opportunity to strengthen their own national systems, adopting definitions for international crimes that are more in line with the Statute, and that reflect developments in international law.
Your Excellency, Jamaica is a leader in the Caribbean and has historically spearheaded efforts in the fight against impunity. As has been clearly described by The Hon. Patrick Robinson, Judge at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, Jamaica was among the first set of countries, if not the first, to enact legislation imposing trade sanctions against apartheid South Africa and, furthermore, through the leadership of former Premier Shearer, advocated successfully for the designation of the International Year of Human Rights in 1968.
Despite these efforts to fight against impunity, public statements made by your government indicate that although Jamaica remains committed to ratifying the Statute, legal and political challenges have prevented it from advancing in its ratification efforts. I trust that these hurdles will be promptly solved and that the necessary political support required to prioritize the task of adopting Rome Statute implementing legislation- a prerequisite that I understand has been deemed necessary for ratification by your country - will be generated so as to ensure that Jamaica joins its fellow Caribbean neighbors as an additional state party to the Rome Statute.
With almost all CARICOM members as members of the ICC, the scales of justice in the Caribbean have tilted decisively in favor of the Rome Statute and it is imperative that Jamaica, which signed the treaty in 2000, take concrete actions to ratify the Rome Statute.
Sincerely,

PARA KAZAJIST�N

Your Excellency,

I am writing to urge you to ensure Kazakhstan�s prompt accession to the Rome Statute of the ICC.

The Court�s recent verdict in its first trial and its ongoing investigations in Uganda, Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Darfur (Sudan), Kenya, Libya and C�te d�Ivoire signify that this cornerstone of the international justice system is advancing in its crucial work to end impunity for genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes. Kazakhstan�s support through accession of the Rome Statute is therefore of utmost importance.

The Rome Statute came into force in July 2002 and now has the support of more than half of the world�s nations. With Guatemala�s recent accession to the Rome Statute on 2 April 2012, 121 states have ratified or acceded to the treaty, while 139 are signatories. The ICC has thus become an important mechanism in ensuring that the most serious violations of human rights no longer go unpunished. However, for the justice system to have global reach, the Court needs the support of all countries. Moreover, increased ratifications of the Statute will result in more robust and meaningful representation in the international struggle to end impunity.
Only one country in Central Asia � Tajikistan � is a state party. Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan have signed the Rome Statute but have yet to complete the process of ratification. Kazakhstan is joined by Turkmenistan in having neither signed nor acceded to the Statute.
However, in becoming a state party, Kazakhstan would demonstrate its engagement in this global endeavor and join the majority of the world�s nations in support of justice for the most serious crimes. Moreover, Kazakhstan�s accession could help encourage the region as a whole to affirm its respect for human rights, the rule of law, and international justice.
Your Excellency, in this propitious year marking the 10th anniversary of the Rome Statute coming into force, I urge Kazakhstan to accede to the Rome Statute without delay as a demonstration of its commitment to fight impunity and to fully align its legislation with all obligations under the Rome Statute, including accession to the Agreement on Privileges and Immunities of the Court (APIC).

Sincerely,
