"Mr President, I feel we can congratulate ourselves on the fact that 55 States have signed the Statute. However, some European States have still not done so. It is therefore crucial that we encourage them to sign up.
Since 1995, this Parliament has been working towards the creation of this criminal court, and subsequently, in 1998, the Rome Conference very clearly stated the work that needed to be done to set it up. We are at the end of this process, but, perhaps, at this point, an effort must be made to get 60 signatories to the Statute. However, Mr President, I would also like to say to the Spanish Presidency that all this effort is only worth it if the end result is significant. In order for this to be an instrument of fundamental importance, we need a whole series of working and operating mechanisms. I would ask the Spanish Presidency, during whose term of office the Statute for the International Criminal Court will in all likelihood be approved, to put all its efforts into ensuring that the court will have the sufficient means to be able to function as it should. This has been Parliament’s concern since 1995: that this struggle for a future that is more just will be successful and that this International Criminal Court will take on the crucially important role that it should have in the future."@en1
