Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor David Atkinson (Conservative), on Tuesday, 18 February 1997, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 39 members in total.
INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT
That this House notes that there is at present, no permanent and effective mechanism which allows those individuals violating international humanitarian law to be made accountable for their crimes; believes that the only way to maintain international peace is to focus the rule of law on individual lawbreakers and make international law more effective through the establishment of a permanent international criminal court; and strongly urges Her Majesty's Government to support the Preparatory Committee on the Establishment of an International Criminal Court created by the United Nations General Assembly in December 1995.
