The decision to ratify the Rome Statute is not directed against the CSTO or Russia. Nikol Pashinyan

The ratification of the Rome Statute will enable RA to use the capabilities of the International Criminal Court to ensure external security.

We decided to implement the Rome Statute in 2022. In December, it became apparent to us that more than CSTO and the tools of the Armenian-Russian strategic partnership were needed to ensure Armenia's external security.

Nikol Pashinyan announced this in his address a little while ago.

According to him, the decision to ratify the Rome Statute is not directed against the CSTO or the Russian Federation in any way; it stems from the interests of our external security, and making such a decision is our sovereign right.
