ICC: Bolster Global Justice at Kampala Conference
(New York) - Member states of the International Criminal Court (ICC) should use the upcoming review conference in Kampala, Uganda to push forward justice for the worst international crimes, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today. Human Rights Watch called on member states to use preparations, conference discussions, and pledges of greater support for the ICC to increase the likelihood that the most serious perpetrators will be held to account.
The 102-page report, "Making Kampala Count: Advancing the Global Fight Against Impunity at the ICC Review Conference," assesses progress and recommends steps to strengthen international justice. The report addresses the four themes identified as part of the conference's "stock-taking exercise": peace and justice, strengthening national courts, the ICC's impact on affected communities, and state cooperation.
