To the members of the United Nations Security Council,

To the Secretary-General of the United Nations,

We, the undersigned Parliamentarians of the world,

Considering the urgent necessity of ending the state of formal and substantial impunity for those responsible for the genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes that have marked this century;

Emphasizing the unquestionable need for the international community to adopt a secure deterrent against future wars, massacres, and acts of aggression, as well as to deliver those who are responsible for these crimes to the ad hoc Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda;

Considering that the time has arrived for creating the first effective section of international law for all of the nations of the world under the aegis of the UN and the concrete possibility of closing this millennium with the banner of impartial and effective international justice;

Emphasizing the significant progress that has been achieved in recent years by the work of the UN. Preparatory Committee as the predisposition for the project for the Statute of the International Criminal Court;

Considering the Italian Government’s offer to organize and host the Diplomatic Plenipotentiary Conference for the establishment of the International Criminal Court scheduled for June 1998;

Solemnly request that the 52nd UN General Assembly and the UN Security Council

- make the proper and formal recommendations of the Preparatory Committee, which asks for the convocation of a Diplomatic Conference for the establishment of the International Criminal Court in Rome in 1998 a reality, and assure that its adequate budget will be included within the ordinary budget of the United Nations;

- to modify the SFOR mandate and to introduce every other useful measure possible so that the persons sought for prosecution for war crimes and crimes against humanity in the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda International Tribunals be brought to justice.
