International International Criminal Court

In March 2008, the Inter-American Juridical Committee (CJI) through the resolution "Promotion of the International Criminal Court, CJI/RES. 140 (LXXII-O/08), approved the "Guide to the general principles and agendas for the cooperation of States with the International Criminal Court”, which presents central issues around different forms of cooperation and legal assistance with the International Criminal Court.

Subsequently in June 2010, the CJI adopted a “Preliminary draft of model texts for crimes contemplated in the Rome Statute”, contained in document CJI/doc.360/10 rev.1, pursuant to resolution AG/RES. 2577 (XL-O/10), which promotes the adoption of a model law to facilitate the implementation of the Rome Statute with respect to the crimes recorded in that Statute.
