La Coalición por la Corte Penal Internacional (CCPI) le solicita al Reino de Tailandia que cumpla con su compromiso de poner fin a la impunidad y adhiera al Estatuto de Roma, el tratado fundacional de la Corte Penal Internacional (CPI). Cada vez más países de Asia avanzan en sus procesos de ratificación, la región ha sido testigo de las recientes ratificaciones de Filipinas y Maldivas. En este contexto, la ratificación de Tailandia ayudará a fortalecer la voz de Asia en la Corte y alentar nuevos procesos de ratificación en la región.

Hasta el momento, 118 Estados han ratificado o adherido al sistema del Estatuto de Roma, pero sólo nueve Estados de Asia se han unido a la CPI: Afganistán, Bangladesh, Camboya, Filipinas, Japón, la República de Corea, Maldivas, Mongolia y Timor-Leste.

Los culpables de cometer genocidios, crímenes de guerra y crímenes de lesa humanidad deben enfrentar a la justicia. Para aumentar el compromiso de la región en la lucha contra la impunidad es necesario que cada vez más Estados asiáticos apoyen a la CPI. Por este motivo, la Coalición quiere alentar a Tailandia a reforzar su compromiso con la lucha contra la impunidad y adherir al Estatuto de Roma de la CPI.

Your Excellency:

I am writing to you to respectfully request you to take concrete steps towards accession to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. Thailand participated actively in the Rome Conference which adopted the Rome Statute on 17 July 1998. The following year, on 19 January 1999, the Thai government established the Commission for the Consideration of the Statute of the International Criminal Court, and less than three years from the Rome Conference, Thailand took the important step of signifying its intent to eventually ratify, by signing the Rome Statute on 2 October 2000.

Other steps to advance Thailand’s process of ratification have included a resolution passed by the Council of Ministers for a feasibility study on Thailand's ratification of the Rome Statute, which lead to the completion by the Foreign Ministry of its review of the Rome Statute vis-à-vis Thai law in May 2002. Since then, Thailand has been participating in the annual sessions of the Assembly of States Parties (ASP) to the Rome Statute, the governing body of the ICC, as an observer; a high-level delegation represented Thailand at the 9th session of the ASP held at UN headquarters, New York in December 2010.

Your Excellency, while challenges of a legal and political nature are often part of the national debate on ratification to the Rome Statute, many of these challenges are common to what other states faced prior to their ratification, such as addressing the issue of immunities, distinguishing between extradition and surrender of nationals, ensuring that penalties do not go beyond the national limits, among other issues. However, specific provisions within the Statute have allowed states to ensure the compatibility of their domestic legislation with the Rome Statute. In addition, through the principle of complementarity, the Rome Statute system recognizes the primary jurisdiction of states in investigating and prosecuting individuals who have allegedly committed crimes that fall under the jurisdiction of the ICC.

To date, 118 states have joined the ICC. This ever-increasing number of states parties confirms the positive and important role of the ICC in the fight against impunity. The Asian region cannot be left behind in this system of international justice. With only 9 states in Asia having joined the ICC, it is more important than ever to raise this region’s representation within the Court and re-affirm its commitment to the global fight against impunity.

I urge your Excellency to use your good offices to ensure Thailand’s accession to the Rome Statute as soon as possible.

Sincerely,
