La Coalición por la Corte Penal Internacional y sus miembros le solicitan a Filipinas que realice todas las acciones necesarias para acceder al Estatuto de Roma de la CPI lo antes posible. Filipinas tuvo un rol activo en la Conferencia de Plenipotenciarios de las Naciones Unidas sobre el Establecimiento de una Corte Penal Internacional de 1998 que se realizó en Roma.

Asia sigue siendo una región con poca representación en la CPI, sólo Afganistán, Mongolia, Camboya, Timor-Leste, Tayikistán, la República de Corea y Japón son Estados Partes del Tratado. La unión de Filipinas a este sistema de justicia internacional le dará a la región una voz más fuerte y un papel más significativo a la hora de hacer que esta histórica institución- la primera corte permanente e independiente capaz de investigar y de llevar ante la justicia a los individuos que cometieron crímenes de guerra, crímenes de lesa humanidad y genocidio- se convierta en un mecanismo verdaderamente efectivo para la protección de los derechos humanos y el estado de derecho.

Your Excellency,

I am writing to urge you to ensure the Philippines’ ratification of the Rome Statute of the ICC as soon as possible. The Court’s investigations in Uganda, Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Sudan signify that it is moving forward in its crucial work to end impunity for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. The Philippines’ support for this new and vital system of international justice by acceding to the Rome Statute is therefore of the utmost importance.

The Rome Statute came into force in July 2002 and now has the support of well over half of the world’s nations. With the Czech Republic’s formal ratification in July 21, 2009, 110 states have now acceded to or ratified the treaty, and 139 are signatories. The new system of international justice, of which the International Criminal Court is a cornerstone, aims to ensure that the most serious international crimes no longer go unpunished. Support from countries around the globe is crucial to building, strengthening, and ensuring the success of this new justice system.

As a signatory to the Rome Statute, the Philippines can continue the engagement it started at the United Nations Diplomatic Conference of Plenipotentiaries on the Establishment of an International Criminal Court in 1998 by ratifying this international treaty. Ratifying the treaty would demonstrate the commitment of the Government of Philippines to uphold human rights as is enshrined in the Constitution and exemplified in your commitment to UN Peacekeeping missions.

Regarding the ICC’s jurisdiction, it is important to note that it is not retroactive. Furthermore, the Court’s jurisdiction is limited to crimes committed by nationals of states parties or on the territory of states parties. The ICC was designed to complement existing national judicial systems and can only investigate cases when a country is unable or unwilling to try suspects in its national courts.

We urge your Excellency to use your good offices to ensure prompt treatment of the ratification dossier. This crucial step will allow the Philippines to continue its path toward becoming a State Party to the Rome Statute. Prompt ratification will also enable the Philippines to participate more meaningfully in the upcominig Review Conference of the ICC, to take place in June 2010, and thus engage in the process leading to the adoption of a definition for the crime of aggression. Moreover, as a State Party, the Philippines will also be able to participate in judiciary and other elections at the Court.

I strongly encourage the Philippines to take this opportunity to formally join the ICC this year and by doing so express its ongoing support for justice and human rights.

Sincerely,
