The resolution was presented after the attempts by Senator Daggash to obtain the public divulgation of the Bilateral executive Agreements of Non Surrender signed with the United States.<br> <br> PGA Members from Nigeria have actively participated in <em>PGA’s Consultative Assemblies of Parliamentarians for the ICC and the Rule of Law (CAP ICC)</em> since its session in 2003.<br> <br> Upon request of then PGA Member Ms. Martha Bodunrin ( former MP House of Representatives) at the ICC Assembly of States Parties in December 2011, PGA provided technical assistance to its members in drafting a comprehensive bill to implement the Rome Statute Crimes into Nigeria’s national legal system based on the Revised Commonwealth Model Law. This Bill had been presented by then PGA Member and MP Ms. Martha Bodunrin to the Speaker of Parliament, the Majority Speaker, and the Chairpersons of relevant Committees. The government then drafted a government bill to implement the Rome Statute, namely the “<a href="https://www.pgaction.org/pdf/CRIMES-AGAINST-HUMANITY-WAR-CRIMES-GENOCIDE-AND-RELATED-OFFENCES-BILL-2012-Nigeria.pdf">Crimes against Humanity, Genocide and Related Offences Bill 2012</a>”. The efforts of PGA members led to the bill having passed the first reading in Senate. This Bill was further in the Second Reading in Senate (but had not passed the House yet) in May 2013 as “<a href="https://www.pgaction.org/pdf/senate_notice_37.pdf">A Bill for an Act to Provide for the Enforcement and Punishment of Crimes Against Humanity, War Crimes, Genocide and Related Offences and to Give Effect to Certain Provisions of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court in Nigeria, 2013</a>” (SB 183). The Bill has not moved further since then.<br>  <br> On June 12, 2014, PGA Members sent an<a href="https://www.pgaction.org/pdf/2014/2014-06-12-Open-letter-to-President-Goodluck-Jonathan.pdf"> Open Letter to the President of Nigeria</a> that called on Ending Impunity for Boko Haram through the ICC. No reply was received.</p> <p>PGA is in constant communications with its leading Member in the fight against impunity in Nigeria, but has not been able to understand until today what is blocking the draft Bill to implement the Rome Statute from moving to the third reading in Senate.</p> <h4>Kampala Amendments of 2010</h4> <ul> <li> <p>Nigeria attended the Review Conference and joined the consensus to adopt the two Kampala Amendments.</p> </li> <li> <p>Nigeria has not yet ratified the Amendments to the Rome Statute adopted by the 2010 Review Conference (Kampala Amendments) on the crime of aggression and on the use of certain weapons in armed conflict not of an international character.</p> </li> </ul> <h4>Involvement of Nigerian MPs in PGA-ICC Related Actions</h4> <ul> <li>November 05, 2013 - PGA facilitated a <a href="http://www.icc-cpi.int/en_menus/icc/press%20and%20media/press%20releases/Pages/pr961.aspx">meeting between ICC President Judge Song and the Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly and the Chairs of relevant Committees to discuss ICC’s role in the global fight against impunity and the status of the Nigerian draft legislation on implementing the Rome Statute at national level</a>.</li> <li>Nov. 2013: PGA’s most active Member in Nigeria promoting the implementation of the Rome Statute of the ICC,<strong style="font-size: 13px;"> </strong><span style="font-size:16px;"><strong>Hon.

Its 18 judges from around the world, elected for a nine-year term, play a key role in ensuring this expectation is lived up to through their primary mandate to render authoritative and high-quality jurisprudence and guarantee fair trials.</p> <p>Therefore, the quality of the judges has fundamental importance to the performance, efficiency, and effectiveness of the ICC, which is at the heart of the long-term success of the ICC and the Rome Statute system as a whole. In this handbook, PGA sets forth specific criteria and recommendations for Parliamentarians to encourage their governments to improve national nomination procedures for ICC judicial candidates and adopt good practices and requirements to ensure these processes are fair, transparent, and merit-based. The goal of robust nomination procedures is to ensure that only candidate judges or jurists of the highest caliber make it on the ballot.</p></div> </div> <h3 class="dir_listh3">PDF(s)</h3> <ul class="dir_ul"> <li><a href="https://www.pgaction.org/pdf/2023/handbook-national-nomination-judicial-candidates-icc_en.pdf" title="English">English</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.pgaction.org/pdf/2023/handbook-national-nomination-judicial-candidates-icc_es.pdf" title="Español">Español</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.pgaction.org/pdf/2023/handbook-national-nomination-judicial-candidates-icc_fr.pdf" title="français">français</a></li> </ul> <h3 class="dir_listh3">Additional Details</h3> <ul class="dir_ul"> <li><span>Publication Type:</span> Handbook</li> <li><span>Author(s):</span> Parliamentarians for Global Action</li> </ul> </div><div class="clear"></div></section> <br> <section class="dir_section"> <div class="dir_listtop"> <h4 class="dir_listh4">Publication</h4> <figure class="dir_listtop_fig"><a href="https://www.pgaction.org/media/images/resources/2019-handbook-ratification-and-implementation-kampala-amendments.png" title="Handbook: Ratification and Implementation of the Kampala Amendments on the Crime of Aggression to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court" data-mediabox="dir-image"><img src="https://www.pgaction.org/media/images/resources/2019-handbook-ratification-and-implementation-kampala-amendments.png" alt="Handbook: Ratification and Implementation of the Kampala Amendments on the Crime of Aggression to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court"></a><figcaption>Handbook: Ratification and Implementation of the Kampala Amendments on the Crime of Aggression to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court</figcaption></figure> <div class="dir_text"> <div class="dir_listtop_main"> <h1 class="dir_listh1">Handbook: Ratification and Implementation of the Kampala Amendments on the Crime of Aggression to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court</h1> <div class="dir_listdesc"> <h3 class="dir_listh3 mt-50">Description</h3> <p>It is our honor and privilege to present to you the Third Edition of the Handbook on the Ratification and Implementation of the Kampala Amendments on the Crime of Aggression to the Rome Statute of the ICC. </p><p>It is the product of our collaborative effort aimed at assisting States in ratifying the amendments adopted by consensus in Kampala and helping criminalize the most serious forms of the illegal use of force.</p></div> </div> <h3 class="dir_listh3">PDF(s)</h3> <ul class="dir_ul"> <li><a href="https://www.pgaction.org/pdf/2019/handbook-ratification-and-implementation-kampala-amendments.pdf" title="English">English</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.pgaction.org/pdf/2019/handbook-ratification-and-implementation-kampala-amendments_es.pdf" title="Español">Español</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.pgaction.org/pdf/2019/handbook-ratification-and-implementation-kampala-amendments_fr.pdf" title="français">français</a></li> </ul> <h3 class="dir_listh3">Additional Details</h3> <ul class="dir_ul"> <li><span>Publication Type:</span> Handbook</li> <li><span>Author(s):</span> Permanent Mission of the Principality of Liechtenstein to the United Nations;
