Reconsider stance on Rome Statute, Putrajaya told

Lawyer Gurdial Singh Nijar and ex-MP Charles Santiago call for Malaysia to sign up as a member given its support for Palestine.

Gurdial Singh Nijar and Charles Santiago said signing the Rome Statute would allow the country to seek international justice for war crimes and related violations.

“Currently, every resolution presented in the UNSC regarding humanitarian ceasefires and similar matters is facing opposition and veto, primarily because of the veto power held by the five major powers,” he told FMT.“Specifically, the US is exercising its veto authority to block these resolutions,” Gurdial added.

The government withdrew from the global treaty four years ago, with then prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad saying he was forced to do so due to the confusion which arose over the issue within the country.Santiago agreed that, in light of its efforts to support the Palestinian people, the way forward for Malaysia was to become an ICC member.
