Forum Bioethik Nun hat auch der 60. Staat den Vertrag ratifiziert, so dass der Internationale Strafgerichtshof seine Arbeit aufnehmen kann. Die USA, Russland und China lehnen eine Ratifikation noch ab, wegen "Einmischung in ihre Souveranität". Es ist schon eine sehr eigentümliche Begründung. Hinzu kommt, daß die USA durch ihren Senatsbeschluss sogar Sanktionen gegen Staaten vorsehen, die diesen Vertrag ratifizieren.
Immerhin soll zum ersten Mal das "Weltrechtsprinzip" eine institutionelle Umsetzung finden, deshalb wäre es serh wünschenswert, wenn  weitere Staaten das "Rom-Statut" unterzeichnen. - Anbei ein Brief von Mitgliedern des International Justice Project vom 11.04.2002
U.D.

> The 60th ratification is not however the end of AI's work on this issue -
> AI will need to continue to work as actively as ever to ensure that as many
> states as possible ratify the Statute, to ensure that those governments

> states parties nominate judges to the Court in a transparent process and to
> ensure the effective setting up with the Court,
