Abstract: | The International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) welcomes that some progress has been made during the August 1997 session of the UN Preparatory Committee on the Establishment of an International Criminal Court. Although consensus has emerged on some issues, the ICJ is concerned that many of the politically-sensitive questions, such as the role of the UN Security Council, remain contentious and unresolved. Several provisions were reviewed during this session. Most of the language in the Court's Draft Statute remained between brackets. Several options and alternatives to each article were considered, but very few issues were finalised or resolved. The ICJ said: "Victims of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity throughout the world anxiously await the establishment of this permanent International Criminal Court to eradicate the impunity granted to the perpetrators of such crimes. They would like to see that an effective, independent, and just court be established soon". [excerpt] |
