Statement by EU HR Ashton on Vanuatu's ratification of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court

"I warmly welcome the accession to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court by Vanuatu on 2 December 2011 and congratulate the Government of Vanuatu for its achievement. Through this decision Vanuatu has once more confirmed its commitment to the global rule of law. 

This accession represents an historic step, as it brings the number of States Parties to 120, thereby equalling the number of States who voted for the original adoption of the Rome Statute in 1998."
