Mauritania’s accession to the Rome Statute would strengthen the African voice at the Court and contribute to a robust and meaningful participation intended to ensure that the ICC upholds and abides by the spirit of the Rome Statute. To date, 121 states have ratified or acceded to the Rome Statute system, 32 of which are African states. Additionally, 12 African states have signed the Rome Statute but have yet to complete the process of ratification. Greater support for the ICC in Africa is needed in order to increase the region’s commitment to the fight against impunity. The Coalition therefore encourages Mauritania to assert its commitment to ending the culture of impunity by acceding to the Rome Statute of the ICC. URC – TURKEY The Coalition for the International Criminal Court (CICC) also calls on Turkey to take the necessary steps to accede to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC). European states have been frontrunners in the establishment of the ICC and their continuing support is critical to ensuring that the ICC remains a fair and effective Court. To date, 42 states in Europe and in Central Asia are parties to the Rome Statute, 27 of which are European Union (EU) members. The region also includes six signatories to the Rome Statute that have yet to complete the process of ratification (Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, the Principality of Monaco, the Russian Federation, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan). With its pivotal geopolitical importance, Turkey’s engagement with this new system of international justice would send a strong signal that impunity for international crimes is unacceptable. As states parties, Mauritania and Turkey would be able to actively participate in a more significant manner in the annual Assembly of States Parties (ASP) of the ICC during which states make important decisions in relation to the administration of the Court, including the election of judges, prosecutors, and other Court officials. The Coalition therefore appeals to Mauritania and Turkey to join the Rome Statute and to fully support the 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.
