CICC Universal Ratification Campaign - Caribbean
by alejandro on 16 Dec 2009 | Comments
This month’s target country for our ongoing Universal Ratification Campaign is the Caribbean (Bahamas, Grenada, Haiti, Jamaica and St. Lucia). The Universal Ratification Campaign is a worldwide effort to promote universal acceptance of the International Criminal Court. Please join us in urging these countries to ratify the Rome Statute. We ask you to visit our ratification campaign page where you can send a letter to Prime Minister Ingraham of the Bahamas; Prime Minister Thomas of Grenada; Prime Minister Bellerive of Haiti; Prime Minister Golding of Jamaica and Prime Minister King of St. Lucia.
This CICC ratification campaign page on these countries is accessible at: http://www.iccnow.org/index.php?mod=urc1209
