Mauritania: Global Coalition Urges Mauritania to Join International Criminal Court

press release

The Coalition for the International Criminal Court--a global network of more than 2,500 non-governmental and civil society organizations in 150 countries advocating for a fair, effective and independent International Criminal Court (ICC)--today called on Mauritania to embrace a new system of international justice and advance the rule of law by acceding to the Rome Statute.

The Coalition has chosen Mauritania as the focus for its June 2011 Universal Ratification Campaign, a monthly campaign launched to encourage countries to join the Rome Statute--the founding treaty of the first permanent international court capable of trying perpetrators of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.
