Minister: Malaysia to ratify Rome Statute of International Criminal Court soon

Malaysia could have referred the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 in 2014 to the International Criminal Court (ICC) if it had ratified the Rome Statute of the ICC, said M. Kulasegaran, chairman of the Parliamentarians for Global Action (PGA) Malaysia.

Kulasegaran, who is the Human Resource Minister, said Malaysia is expected to ratify the ICC statute soon.
