Under the patronage of His Excellency the President of the Republic of Tunisia, this seminar provided interactive training on the Rome Statute to over 60 leading law professionals from across the Maghreb region and the Middle East, with a view to enhancing States' cooperation with the Court. The seminar was made possible thanks to the support of the Tunisian Ministry of Justice and funding from the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie.
The ICC’s High-Level Regional Cooperation Seminars aim to enhance cooperation with the Court by increasing understanding about the ICC’s cooperation regime amongst the invitees; promoting dialogue and efforts towards universality of the Rome Statute; and reinforcing high-level and technical-level contacts and partnerships amongst the Court and key interlocutors. Target audiences include Heads of State, Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Justice, and senior officials in charge of operational issues related to the ICC and/or international judicial assistance in criminal matters.
