lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, may I congratulate the Finnish presidency on this initiative in which I fully support him. I hope that at the end of the temporary conference all Member States will ratify the setting up of the International Criminal Court so that the war criminals who are so prevalent today throughout the world can be prosecuted. In July 1998, 83 countries agreed to the establishment of an international court at a conference sponsored by the United Nations in Rome. Only four countries to date have ratified the Rome Statute: Trinidad and Tobago, Senegal, San Marino and Italy. Above all, the International Criminal Court will encourage states to investigate and prosecute genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity and will itself investigate and prosecute these crimes in certain circumstances. By addressing the issue of impunity and providing a fair forum for prosecutions, the court will help ease international tensions and promote peace and security, domestically and internationally."@en1
