At the end of its first quarter century, PGA has demonstrated that the concept on which it is based - that a results-oriented global network of legislators can be a powerful and effective force for peace and progress - is both valid and sustainable.

2002 has proven to be a year of great achievements for the global community, one of which was the ratification and entry into force of the Rome Statute for the International Criminal Court (ICC). Parliamentarians for Global Action (PGA) has played a viral role in the ratification process of the Statute.

Although it has taken more than a decade, the road started by PGA members Mr. Arthur N.R. Robinson, currently President of Trinidad and Tobago, and U.S. Rep. James Leach in 1989 to set up an International Criminal Court is now closer to becoming a reality, with President Clinton signing the ICC statute on December 31, 2000.
