i don't know what you think but i believe indonesia must fulfil its commitment to ratify the rome statute of the international criminal court in 2008...in 2004, the president of indonesia adopted a national plan of action on human rights...significantly, the plan states that indonesia intends to ratify the rome statute in 2008...
midway through 2008, however, it remains uncertain whether indonesia will achieve its target...in particular, national legislation providing for cooperation with the international criminal court has not yet been enacted...
amnesty international has called on indonesia to take all necessary steps to ratify the rome statute this year, to demonstrate its commitment to end impunity for the worst human rights violations: genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes...
what is the international criminal court?
the international criminal court is a permanent independent judicial body created by the international community to prosecute crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes...under a system of complementarity, it will only act when national authorities are unable or unwilling to investigate and prosecute crimes...
the rome statute was adopted at an international conference in rome on 17 july 1998...to date 106 countries - more than half of the world - have ratified...the international criminal court, which began work on 1 july 2002 has already commenced four investigations into crimes committed in the central african republic, the democratic republic of congo, darfur (sudan) and uganda...its first trial is expected to start this year...
take action here...
peace out <3
