lpv:spoken text	"Today, in the Hague, delegates from the 89 co-signatory states of the International Criminal Court Treaty – the member nations of the ICC – will gather for a ceremony presided over by the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Kofi Annan, and Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands. The court's 18 judges will be sworn in and the court will be inaugurated today. It is expected that prime ministers, presidents, and foreign affairs and justice ministers of the member states will attend. On behalf of the European Parliament, I should like to say in the clearest way that we, in this Parliament, have promoted and defended human rights. In so doing we have strongly supported the establishment of the International Criminal Court as a vital step forward at global level. We can be proud, as Members of the European Parliament, that the court will take shape today. In my opinion, for those who have offended the international human rights order, a body such as the International Criminal Court is better than a Guantanamo Bay. The House will recall that we have already adopted resolutions in this regard on a number of occasions, including as recently as last October."@en1
