“Meeting with CSOs and NGOs was fruitful as we were able to not only showcase our work and activities but also collaborate with them to reach a common goal,” Ms. Kula continued.

Ms. Kula emphasised the critical need to work with stakeholders; and collaborate with, the State's Attorney-General's Chambers, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Prime Minister’s Office.

“We soon plan to organize a Panel Discussion with relevant stake-holders and raise important issues that will help in reaching consensus towards Malaysia’s ratification. And to reach our goal, the CICC Malaysia will continue to strongly advocate and strengthen its outreach program,” Ms. Kula concluded.

The CICC Malaysia plans to organize more such meetings in the coming months and strengthen its work towards global justice.
