> A Universal Court with Global Support > Ratification and Implementation > Universal Ratification Campaign > URC – Kuwait URC – Kuwait The Coalition for the International Criminal Court (CICC) is calling on Kuwait to take the necessary steps to ratify the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC). Increased accessions and ratifications of the Statute in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region would further strengthen the global voice at the Court and result in a more robust and meaningful participation in the worldwide struggle to establish a truly fair, effective, and independent ICC. To date, the MENA region is the most underrepresented region at the ICC. The Arab League, consisting of 22 Arabic-speaking states, has only 3 states parties to the Rome Statute – Jordan, Djibouti, and the Comoros Islands. Nine states however have signed the treaty. Though underrepresented, the MENA region has a growing interest in the fight against impunity and the Coalition today has nearly 250 active member organizations spread across almost every country in the region. Through its strengthened regional efforts targeting civil society, parliamentarians, governments, media, and others, the Coalition is pushing for an increased number of accessions and ratifications and full implementation of the Rome Statute in MENA countries. 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. Take action now! Write a letter to the Prime Minister of Kuwait to encourage him to ratify to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC).
