Groups Urge Iraq to Join International Criminal Court

”International law represents the highest values of honor, human justice, and safeguarding humanity,” the Baghdad-based Human Rights and Democracy Organization said in a letter to the Iraqi Constitution Committee Thursday.
The letter, signed by nearly 100 prominent lawyers, professors, physicians and intellectuals, urged the authors of the new constitution to insist that the text ”clearly affirms international law in its totality, primarily the Rome Statute of the ICC, as well as the international agreements, conventions, and declarations.”
