The Rome Statute of the International Criminal
Court, adopted in July 17, 1998 establishes in its article 1 that
the Court “…shall be a permanent institution and shall have the
power to exercise its jurisdiction over persons for the most serious
crimes of international concern, as referred to in this Statute, and
shall be complementary to national criminal jurisdictions. The
jurisdiction and functioning of the Court shall be governed by the
provisions of this Statute”.
The Statute entered
into force on July 1, 2002, in accordance with article 126 that
holds that: “This Statute shall enter into force on the first day of
the month after the 60th day following the date of the deposit of
the 60th instrument of ratification, acceptance, approval or
accession with the Secretary-General of the United Nations”.
To date, 123 have ratified the Statute of Roma, including 29 OAS member states.
It must be noted that three OAS member states have signed the Statute but have not become parties yet.
Between 1999 and 2002, the General Assembly of
the Organization of American States supported a resolution relating
to the adoption of the Statute of Rome, and since 2003 the General
Assembly has adopted resolutions on the promotion of the
International Criminal Court.
In accordance with
this commitment, the Committee on Juridical and Political Affairs
has been holding
Technical working meeting
that “discuss, among other matters, measures that could strengthen
cooperation with the International Criminal Court,” counting among
the panelists members of the organs of the Court, international
organizations and institutions, and civil society.
It is important to note that the Inter-American Juridical Committee
elaborated
several studies during the first decade since the adoption of
the Rome Statute that created the International Criminal Court.
