> A Universal Court with Global Support > Ratification and Implementation > Universal Ratification Campaign > URC - Swaziland and Morocco URC - Swaziland and Morocco The Coalition for the International Criminal Court and its members are calling on the Kingdom of Swaziland to take the necessary steps to move forward and accede to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC). Increased ratifications of the Statute in the sub-region will help strengthen the African 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 30 States in Africa have already become States Parties to the Treaty, and12 others have signed the Rome Treaty but have yet to complete the process of ratification. Adding Swaziland as a State Party to the Court would consolidate the region and the Southern Africa sub-region as fully committed to this historic institution- the first permanent, independent court capable of investigating and bringing to justice individuals who commit the most serious violations of international humanitarian law, namely war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. Take Action Now! Write a letter to the Prime Minister of Swaziland to encourage him to accede to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC).

Box 924 Mbabane Fax: +268 404 4796 / +268 404 3533 Your Excellency: The Coalition for the International Criminal Court is calling on Morocco to take the necessary steps to ratify the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC). Increased ratifications of the Statute in the 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 Middle East and North Africa region (MENA) has 3 States Parties to the Rome Statute – Jordan, Djibouti, and the Comoros Islands. The region also has 11 signatories (Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Israel, Kuwait, Morocco, Oman, Syria, UAE and Yemen). Morocco signed the Rome Statute on September 8th, 2000 and the Moroccan Coalition for the International Criminal Court was formed in Rabat in 2005, joining a ten other ICC Coalitions in the MENA region. The region has a growing human rights movement and the Coalition today has almost 300 active member organizations spread across almost every country in the region. Through its strengthened regional efforts targeting civil society, parliamentarians, and governments, the Coalition is pushing for an increased number of ratifications and full implementation of the Rome Statute in all the countries in MENA, which is the most underrepresented region at the Court. The Coalition therefore appeals to Morocco 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 King of Morocco to encourage him to ratify the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC). You might like to use the following letter as a guide.
