Since 2002, PGA has been working in Madagascar, promoting the fight against impunity notably through the ratification and the domestic implementation of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC).
On 1 September 2015, PGA co-hosted, together with the Mission of Liechtenstein to the UN, an event for Parliamentarians on “The Role of Parliaments in Criminalizing Illegal and Aggressive War-Making”.
The Working Group on the fight against impunity in Francophone African countries met for its 1th session under the gracious auspices of the National Assembly of Côte d’Ivoire in Abidjan on 31 January and 1 February 2014.
The discussions provided for an update of the status of national implementing legislation of the Rome Statute in the represented countries, and also a forum to discuss the principles that characterize the jurisdiction of the ICC.
A spirited debate re-launched the political commitment in support of the universality and effectiveness of the new system of international criminal justice within the North-South cooperation framework of the ACP-EU.
