La Coalici�n por la Corte Penal Internacional le pide a Singapur que se una lo antes posible al Estatuto de Roma de la CPI

SINGAPUR

Mientras el mundo celebra el d�cimo aniversario de la Corte Penal Internacional, la Coalici�n le pide al gobierno de Singapur que se una a sus compa�eros de la ASEAN, Camboya, Filipinas y el Timor Oriental, as� como a otros 17 Estados de Asia y el Pac�fico, y adhiera a la CPI.

La sociedad civil se ha reunido para pedirle a Singapur que se adhiera al Estatuto de Roma. Se espera que su participaci�n activa durante la Comisi�n Preparatoria, as� como su actual posici�n de liderazgo en la ASEAN le conduzcan a unirse al sistema del Estatuto de Roma en un futuro cercano, convirti�ndose as� en un actor global en la lucha contra la impunidad.

�Haga algo ahora!

�P�dale a Singapur que se una al Estatuto de Roma lo antes posible!

Your Excellency,

I am writing to respectfully call on your government to ensure Singapore�s prompt accession to the Rome Statute of the ICC. The ICC has become a major pillar of international justice, aiming to ensure that the most serious international crimes do not go unpunished. With 121 State Parties, following the most recent accession by Guatemala in April 2012, and the Court�s seven open investigations in the Central African Republic, Cote d�Ivoire, Darfur, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Libya, and Uganda, the continued support of the international community is today more crucial than ever.

Singapore is a key actor in international relations. Its leadership role in Asia and, in particular, within the ASEAN states, place it a key position to positively contribute to the global fight against impunity and the strengthening of the rule of law. Important signs of Singapore�s commitment to the system established by the Rome Statute- the founding treaty of the International Criminal Court- were given when your country participated very actively in the process leading to the establishment of the Court and thereafter at the Preparatory Commission and Assembly of States Parties sessions in New York and The Hague. Your government�s key role in the formation of the Friends of the ICC paved the way for active involvement of Asian and Pacific nations in the future and actual work of the ICC. To date, 139 have signed and 121 states - almost two-thirds of the world�s countries - have ratified or acceded to the Rome Statute.

While the Asia-Pacific region remains underrepresented in the Court, it must be noted The Philippines, Maldives and Vanuatu have all ratified in the last two years. In addition, Malaysia, Indonesia, Tuvalu and Tonga continue to move forward in their respective ratification processes. Singapore�s accession would not only increase ASEAN�s voice at the ICC but can also encourage other Asia-Pacific states and other countries that have yet to ratify the Statute to join the ICC.

A number of states are currently reviewing their domestic legislations in order to ensure full compatibility with the Rome Statute. While several state parties have had to face legal and technical challenges, these have been successfully surpassed via interpretative methods, amendments or through specific provisions in the Rome Statute that are meant to assist states in overcoming apparent compatibility issues. I encourage your government to carefully assess comparative experiences and overcome some of these obstacles toward accession.

Your Excellency, in this tenth anniversary of the ICC, I respectfully call on your government to consider Indonesia�s accession to the Rome Statute at your earliest convenience.

Sincerely,

Env�a tu carta a:
