The Assembly, which brought together 80 participants—including 55 parliamentarians from 29 countries worldwide, ICC officials, academics, and civil society leaders—provided a vital platform for discussions on advancing international justice and combating impunity. </p> <p>The sessions focused on strategies to promote the <b>universal ratification and effective implementation</b> of the Rome Statute as well as enhancing the role of national parliaments in supporting the ICC. Parliamentarians discussed opportunities and challenges in strengthening global efforts to ensure accountability for international crimes through the adoption of <b>domestic cooperation legislations</b> and highlighted the importance of signing and ratifying <a href="https://www.gov.si/assets/ministrstva/MZEZ/projekti/MLA-pobuda/The-Ljubljana-The-Hague-MLA-Convention.pdf"><b>the</b> <strong>Ljubljana-The Hague Convention</strong></a>. During the  two engaging days, delegates held critical conversations about <b>sexual and gender-based violence</b>, <b>environmental crimes</b>, and <b>atrocities in Afghanistan</b>. They also explored mechanisms to protect the <strong>independence of the ICC </strong>and <b>denounced the sanctions </b>against the ICC. Looking at future opportunities for international criminal justice, parliamentarians supported the recognition of <b>ecocide</b> as an international crime and acknowledged the need for enhanced cooperation to tackle global challenges such as <b>human trafficking and cybercrime</b>.</p> <p>Honoring the CAP-ICC tradition of recognizing individuals’ outstanding contributions to <strong>defending democracy, peace, and human rights</strong>, PGA awarded <strong>the </strong><a href="https://www.pgaction.org/news/defender-of-democracy-2024.html">2024 Defender of Democracy Award</a> to <strong>Ms. Hina Jilani</strong> from Pakistan and <strong>Hon.
