Coalition launches year of commemorations for ICC treaty

The Coalition convened a high-level forum at the permanent premises of the ICC on 15 February 2018, bringing together leaders of governments, the United Nations and other regional and international organizations, the Court and civil society, among others, in a formal launch of  the commemoration of this important anniversary year.

"This event recognises the role of the variety of stakeholders involved in the adoption of the Rome Statute – states, regional and international organisations, and civil society, and aims to spur a global dialogue on advancing justice for atrocities," said the Convenor of the Coalition for the ICC, William R. Pace.
