Following the proposals of the rapporteur (Herta Daubler-Gmelin, Germany, SOC), PACE yesterday reiterated its firm commitment to the International Criminal Court (ICC). "The universal ratification of the Rome Statute (...), as well as close co-operation by states and non-States Parties in providing practical and judicial assistance to the ICC, are of key importance for the fight against impunity" the adopted text underlines. The parliamentarians urged eight Council of Europe member states (Armenia, Azerbaijan, the Czech Republic, Moldova, Monaco, Russia, Turkey and Ukraine) that have not yet ratified the Rome Statute to do it "without further delay", PACE official website reported.
