La balance de la justice aux Caraïbes a basculé de manière décisive en faveur de la justice internationale et il est temps pour ces deux pays de rejoindre ce nouveau système de respect de l’état de droit et de défense des droits de l’homme. En outre, la Coalition appelle le Kazakhstan à prendre les mesures nécessaires pour adhérer au Statut de Rome de la CPI. L’Asie centrale reste largement sous-représentée au sein de la Cour. À ce jour, seul un pays d’Asie centrale, le Tadjikistan, est État partie. La région comprend également deux pays signataires qui n’ont pas encore finalisé le processus de ratification du Statut de Rome (Kirghizistan et Ouzbékistan) et 2 États non-signataires (Kazakhstan and Turkménistan). Un plus grand nombre de ratifications du Statut en Asie centrale permettrait de renforcer la voix des pays de la région au sein de la Cour et leur permettrait de participer de manière plus significative aux efforts visant à établir une CPI véritablement juste, efficace et indépendante. En tant qu’États parties, les Bahamas, la Jamaïque et le Kazakhstan seraient en mesure de participer activement à l’Assemblée annuelle des États parties (AEP) de la CPI au cours de laquelle les États parties prennent d’importantes décisions relatives à l’administration de la Cour, y compris l’élection des juges, des procureurs et des officiers de la Cour. La Coalition exhorte donc les Bahamas, la Jamaïque et le Kazakhstan à rejoindre le Statut de Rome et à soutenir pleinement la première cour permanente et indépendante capable d’enquêter et de poursuivre en justice les responsables des violations les plus graves en matière de droit international, à savoir les crimes de guerre, les crimes contre l’humanité et le génocide. Agissez maintenant ! Exhortez les Bahamas, la Jamaïque et le Kazakhstan à rejoindre le Statut de Rome au plus vite ! Vous pouvez vous servir les modèles de lettre ci-dessous pour chaque région. Assurez-vous de copier tous les contacts ci-dessous lorsque vous envoyez vos lettre et merci de nous copier à [email protected] Veuillez noter que toute lettre que vous ou quelqu'un d'autre en dehors du Secrétariat de la CCPI envoyez dans le cadre de cette campagne doit être écrite à titre individuel ou au nom de votre organisation, et non pas au nom de la Coalition pour la CPI. Cette règle doit également être observée par les membres de coalitions nationales ou régionales de la CCPI. POUR LES BAHAMAS Envoyez une lettre à The Right Hon. Hubert Alexander Ingraham, Prime Minister of The Bahamas (Premier Ministre des Bahamas) afin d’encourager son gouvernement à ratifier le Statut de Rome de la CPI. Modèle de lettre 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 an important 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 121 states parties, the International Criminal Court is steadily advancing toward universality. Each 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 six other investigations, and eight preliminary examinations. Your Excellency, 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. I urge The Bahamas, a country that signed the treaty back in 2000, to adopt a firm political commitment to support the ICC and take concrete actions to ratify the Rome Statute without further delay.

Modèle de lettre 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 121 states parties, 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 six 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.

Mr. Nursultan Nazarbayev, President of Kazakhstan (Président du Kazakstan) afin d’encourager son gouvernement à adhéré au Statut de Rome de la CPI. Modèle de lettre 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 Côte 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. As of 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).
