> A Universal Court with Global Support > Ratification and Implementation > Universal Ratification Campaign > URC- Turkey and the Pacific Islands (Tonga, Tuvalu, Palau) URC- Turkey and the Pacific Islands (Tonga, Tuvalu, Palau) The Coalition for the International Criminal Court calls on Turkey and the Pacific Islands (Tonga, Tuvalu, Palau) to join the Rome Statute of the ICC as soon as possible.TURKEY 42 states in Europe and Central Asia are parties to the Rome Statute. However, 12 others still remain outside the system (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, the Holy See, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Monaco, Russia, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan). In 2004, Prime Minister Erdoğan stated before the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe indicating that Turkey would soon approve the Rome Statute. At the first Review Conference of the Rome Statute, held in Kampala, Uganda (31 May - 11 June 2010), the Head of the Turkish delegation reaffirmed Primer Minister Erdoğan’s commitment from 2004. However, since then, Turkey’s progress has remained at a standstill. Turkey’s position as a key international player could significantly contribute to 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. The Coalition calls on Turkey to speed up its accession process, as Turkey would further encourage the region’s commitment to the new system of international justice. PACIFIC ISLANDS The Coalition calls on the governments of Palau, Tonga and Tuvalu to hasten their efforts in acceding to the Rome Statute. This is particularly important, as the Asia-Pacific region is significantly under-represented within the whole Assembly, with only 17 ratifications over 40 Asia-Pacific states. This urgent call for accession is merely a reminder of the Pacific States’ own recognition of the importance of being members of the ICC and undertaking to accede which have been documented in several occasions, e.g. International Criminal Court Pacific Outreach Roundtable, Universal Periodic Review sessions, among others. Take Action Now! Urge Turkey and the Pacific Islands to join the Rome Statute as soon as possible! You might like to use the following letters for each country as a guide.
