In defence of the ICC

Our determination to honour our obligations under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC) is strong. In this regard a Bill domesticating the Rome Statute of the ICC has been tabled before Parliament.  It has gone through the first reading and is now on the agenda for the November 2016 session.

The creation of the ICC marked a milestone in the enhancement of International Criminal Jurisprudence and strengthening of the international rule of law.  We want it to work effectively. The domestication of the Rome Statue of the ICC will contribute in no small measure to the realisation of this shared objective.
