YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 1, ARMENPRESS. The Pashinyan Administration has sent the Rome Statute to parliament for ratification, the Prime Minister’s Office said Friday.

The Armenian government re-launched the process of ratifying the Rome Statute in December 2022.

Then, the Pashinyan Administration explained that it seeks to join the Rome Statute because it would allow to hold the government of Azerbaijan to account.

The Constitutional Court of Armenia on March 24 ruled that the Rome Statute – the treaty that established the International Criminal Court (ICC) – complies with the Constitution of Armenia.
