ICC: No Peace Without Justice participates in second resumption of the seventh session of the Assembly of States Parties

No Peace Without Justice participates in the second resumption of the seventh session the Assembly of States Parties to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, to be held at United Nations Headquarters in New York, from 9 to 13 February 2009. The session will be devoted mainly to the Special Working Group on the Crime of Aggression, which shall conclude its work on 13 February, approximately twelve months prior to the Review Conference of the Rome Statute, to be held in Kampala (Uganda) in the first semester of 2010.
 
The ASP is composed of the States Parties to the Rome Statute, currently numbering 108, and is the body responsible for oversight of the Court's non-judicial functions, including approval of the Court's annual budget, election of the Court's highest officials and provide oversight on issues such as outreach, victim's issues and legal aid.
 
No Peace Without Justice, which is a founding member of the NGO Coalition for the International Criminal Court (CICC) and which has been one of the organisations at the forefront of promoting the establishment and entry into force of the permanent International Criminal Court (ICC) and continues to work for its universal ratification, has participated in every session of the ASP since its first session in 2002, the year the ICC was established.
