> A Universal Court with Global Support > Ratification and Implementation > Universal Ratification Campaign > URC - CARIBBEAN URC - CARIBBEAN The Coalition for the International Criminal Court is calling on Bahamas, Grenada, Haiti, Jamaica and St. Lucia to ratify the Rome Statute of the ICC as soon as possible.Eleven years after the adoption of the Rome Statute, Caribbean States must take firm action to ratify the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. To date only Bahamas, Grenada, Haiti, Jamaica and St. Lucia are yet to become Parties to this treaty. In May 2010 the ICC will be hosting its first Review Conference which will consider, among other things, amendments to the Statute including the adoption of a definition for the crime of aggression, and an evaluation of the Court’s achievements and the challenges it has faced. Given the historical and pioneering role played by the Caribbean in the establishment of the Court, States should endeavor to ensure that the region is fully represented at this important event. Universality remains a fundamental objective in order for the ICC to truly reflect its global character and guarantee an effective end to impunity. Take Action Now! Urge Bahamas, Grenada, Haiti, Jamaica and St. Lucia to ratify the Rome Statute before March. You might like to use the following letter as a guide.
