La visión de PGA es contribuir a la creación de un orden internacional basado en el imperio de la ley para un mundo más equitativo, seguro, sostenible y democrático.

Chad y el Estatuto de Roma

PGA has been very active in Chad since 1999 to promote ratification and full implementation of the Rome Statute. PGA Parliamentarians’ advocacy and deliberations contributed to parliamentary approval of ratification and its consequent deposit in 2006. PGA Members have been active to promote full implementation of the Rome Statute and address and prevent instances of Non Cooperation with the Court.

Rome Statute

Chad signed the Rome Statute on 20 October 1999 and ratified it on 1 November 2006.
 

Kampala Amendments of 2010

Chad did not ratify the Kampala Amendments.
 

Status on Domestic Implementation of the Rome Statute

In September 2014, a new Penal Code bill has been adopted by the government and PGA members in the newly elected Assembly are committed to follow-up on previous efforts by their colleagues towards the implementation of the Rome Statute; the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights having expressed support for the enactment of ICC legislation back in 2009 and a National Commission for Humanitarian Law having been set up, as to support and facilitate the drafting process of an implementing legislation.
 

Agreement on Privileges and Immunities of the Court (APIC)

Chad has not signed the APIC.
 

Additional Agreements

Chad signed a Bilateral Non Surrender Agreement (BNSA), which entered into force on 30 June 2003, with the United States regarding the surrender of persons to the International Criminal Court. However, this agreement has not been ratified by the Parliament of Chad.


 

icc developments

The ICC issued several decisions regarding non-cooperation of Chad vis à vis the visit to Chad by President of Sudan, Omar Al-Bashir, against whom the ICC has issued a warrant of arrest

On 26 March 2013, Pre-Trial Chamber II issued a decision on the non-compliance of Chad with the cooperation requests issued by the Court regarding the arrest and surrender of Omar Al-Bashir.

On 16 February 2013, PGA members Hon. Saleh Kebzabo, MP and Hon. Saleh Makki, MP, released a press statement condemning the visit of President Al Bashir to Chad and calling the Chadian authorities to fulfil their obligations to cooperate with the International Criminal Court (ICC) under the Rome Statute of the ICC.

On 13 December 2011, the same Chamber issued a decision on the refusal of the Republic of Chad to comply with the cooperation requests issued by the Court with respect to the arrest and surrender of Omar Al-Bashir.

On 27 August 2010, Pre-Trial Chamber I informed the United Nations Security Council and the Assembly of States Parties to the Rome Statute about Omar Al-Bashir’s recent visit to the Republic of Chad.

Progress and PGA Action

PGA has been very active in Chad for a number of years and recently, in December 2014, upon request of its leading member, PGA provided technical assistance to draft the implementing legislation, which should be presented by this MP in the framework of the adoption of the new criminal code by Parliament.

On 13-14 October 2011, PGA invited two Chadian MPs to participate in Consultations on International Justice and the Rule of Law held in the parliament of CAR, Bangui. The main objective was to give the recently elected CAR MPs, as well as selected MPs from several African countries (Chad, DRC, Mali, Tanzania), a platform to discuss the role and impact of Justice and the Rule of Law on the ongoing process of consolidating peace. It offered an opportunity to underscore the contribution of the Rome Statute of ICC to the fight against impunity and the promotion of peace, democracy and human rights, as well as law-reforms.

On February, 2011, PGA commented on the "Projet de Proposition de Loi Portant Indemnisation des Victimes des Crimes et Répressions Politiques au Tchad", shared with PGA member Hon. Asnal Djidandibe.

Previously, in 2008 as a result of the 5th CAP ICC in Santa Domingo, a PGA Member and Chair of the Legal Affairs and Legislation Committee initiated deliberations in his Committee for the establishment of a special committee for the drafting of an effective and comprehensive ICC implementing legislation, and has been receiving technical assistance of PGA for the preparation of this legislation.

human rights council universal periodic review

Manual Para Parlamentarios: Designación Nacional De Candidatos A Magistrados De La Corte Penal Internacional (CPI)

Description

La CPI es el primer y único tribunal permanente independiente con el mandato de investigar y enjuiciar a los máximos responsables de cometer crímenes internacionales, a saber, el genocidio, los crímenes de lesa humanidad, los crímenes de guerra y el crimen de agresión. Sus 18 magistrados, procedentes de todo el mundo y elegidos por un mandato de nueve años, desempeñan un papel fundamental a la hora de asegurar que se cumplen estas expectativas mediante la garantía de juicios justos y el dictamen de jurisprudencia autoritativa y de la más alta calidad.

La calidad de los magistrados de la CPI, por lo tanto, tiene una importancia fundamental para el rendimiento, la eficiencia y la eficacia de la Corte puesto que de ello depende el éxito a largo plazo de la CPI y del sistema del Estatuto de Roma en su conjunto. Bajo estos antecedentes, PGA ha elaborado este manual con el fin de establecer criterios y recomendaciones específicas para que los parlamentarios alienten a sus Gobiernos a mejorar los procedimientos nacionales de designación de candidatos a magistrados de la CPI y adopten buenas prácticas y requisitos para garantizar que estos procesos sean justos, transparentes y meritocráticos. El objetivo de un procedimiento de designación sólido es el de garantizar que sólo los candidatos a magistrados o juristas del más alto calibre figuren en la papeleta de votación.
