THE OBLIGATION OF INDONESIAN GOVERNMENT TO RATIFY THE ROME STATUTE FOR THE GLOBAL JUSTICE
Abstract
The Rome Statute is an international document produced by the 1998 UN international meeting in Rome. Since July 1,
2002, this document has become international law. Indonesia has taken an active part in the meeting, and has accepted
it, but has not yet ratified it as an integral part of Indonesian law. As a member of the United Nations, it is very urgent
to ratify this document, as a sign of a civilized country ready to carry out global justice. Indonesia, as a country that
pays attention to human rights, is required to be brave enough to ratify this Statute. Ratification is seen as necessary
because it wants to accept international law into national law. What has been accepted has an important meaning at the
international level. This statute knows no exceptions and wants to fight for an end to impunity, and in the future, justice
will be fought for both within Indonesia itself and globally. In addition, Indonesian experts can contribute ideas and
various other matters concerning justice to the international world.
