> A Universal Court with Global Support > Ratification and Implementation > Universal Ratification Campaign > URC - Kuwait URC - Kuwait The Coalition for the International Criminal Court is calling on Kuwait 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). Kuwait signed the Rome Statute on September 8, 2000 and the Kuwaiti Coalition for the International Criminal Court (KCICC) was formed in Kuwait City in May 2007, bringing the total number of ICC Coalitions in the MENA region to ten. The region has a growing human rights movement and the Coalition today has over 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 Kuwait 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.
