"The EU welcomes the ratification of the Rome Statute by the RA National Assembly." Joseph Borrell

The High Representative of the EU's foreign affairs and security policy, Joseph Borrell, issued a statement that welcomed Armenia's ratification of the Rome Statute.

"The European Union welcomes the ratification of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC) by the National Assembly of Armenia on Tuesday. The decision will enter into force after the signature of the President of Armenia.

The EU calls on all those states that still need to do so to join the Rome Statute. "Each accession to the Statute further accelerates the universal engagement of the international community and strengthens the shared determination to end impunity and develop a culture of accountability," the statement said.
