Rahvusvahelise Kriminaalkohtu Rooma statuudi muudatuste ratifitseerimise seadus

This Estonian law would ratify amendments to the Rome Statute, the treaty that founded the International Criminal Court (ICC). Ratification means Estonia formally accepts changes to the treaty's rules. The ICC prosecutes genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and the crime of aggression when national courts cannot or will not act. Based on the title and metadata alone, the full text of the amendments and the bill is not reviewed here. The main effect is on Estonia's legal obligations toward the ICC and its member states, and on people who could fall under the court's jurisdiction. The bill is handled by the Riigikogu's Legal Affairs Committee. Specific changes to Estonian law depend on the amendments' content, which this summary does not cover.
