> A Universal Court with Global Support > Ratification and Implementation > Universal Ratification Campaign > URC - Nepal URC - Nepal The Coalition for the International Criminal Court (CICC) is calling on the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal to take the necessary steps to accede to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC). A growing number of states within the Asia region are moving forward in their ratification processes, and the Coalition encourages Nepal to seize this momentum toward international justice. By joining the ICC, Nepal will clearly state its commitment to justice and the rule of law and will contribute to raising Asia’s voice within the Rome Statue system.To date, 116 states have ratified or acceded to the Rome Statute, but only 7 of these states are from Asia: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Japan, Republic of Korea, Mongolia, and Timor-Leste. The ICC has an important role in ensuring that perpetrators of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity are held accountable. Greater support for the ICC in Asia is needed in order increase and further secure the region’s commitment to the fight against impunity. As the Court and its case load continue to grow, so will its challenges. These crucial times thus require the strong support of the international community, including Asian states. The Coalition encourages Nepal to assert its commitment to ending the culture of impunity by acceding to the Rome Statute of the ICC. Take action now! Write a letter to the President of Nepal H.E.
