> A Universal Court with Global Support > Ratification and Implementation > Universal Ratification Campaign > URC - Ukraine & Cameroon URC - Ukraine & Cameroon The Coalition for the International Criminal Court calls on Ukraine and Cameroon to join the Rome Statute of the ICC as soon as possible.UKRAINE 42 states in Europe and Central Asia are parties to the Rome Statute, 27 of which are European Union (EU) members. However, 12 others still remain outside the system. A signatory to the Rome Statute since 20 January 2000, Ukraine became the first non-state party to accede to the Agreement on Privileges and Immunities of the Court (APIC) on 29 January 2007. However, like five of its neighbors (Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, the Principality of Monaco, the Russian Federation, and Uzbekistan), Ukraine has yet to complete the process of ratification. This is in part due to a 2001 ruling by the Ukrainian Constitutional Court which found the Rome Statute to be incompatible with the constitution.. As the Constitution also requires that international treaties that are not in conformity with the Constitution may not be concluded until appropriate amendments have been made to the latter, The current constitutional review process should be seized as an opportunity to address this obligation and thus overcome the only legislative obstacle to ratification. In the 2011 EU-Ukraine Association Agenda, both parties agreed on the need to “effectively implement all measures necessary for the entry into force for Ukraine of the Rome Statute establishing the ICC.” On 30 March 2012, the European Union and Ukraine initialed the text of the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement which also includes provisions relating to ratification and implementation of the Rome Statute and cooperation with the ICC. The Agreement is expected to be signed in late 2013. The Coalition calls on Ukraine to take the necessary steps to ratify the Rome Statute. Increased ratifications of the Statute 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. CAMEROON The Coalition calls on the government of Cameroon to take advantage of the recent ratification efforts regarding other international conventions to accelerate its efforts to ratify the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC), By ratifying, Cameroon would accept the Court’s jurisdiction over its territory and its nationals, as a Court of last resort. Cameroon’s ratification of the Rome Statute would strengthen the African voice at the Court and make it the 34th African state party. In addition, Cameroon would have the opportunity to participate in the ICC’s processes, and ensure that the ICC upholds and abides by the spirit of the Rome Statute. Take Action Now!
