: 14 March 2012

The President of the Assembly of States Parties to the Rome Statute, Ambassador Tiina Intelmann (Estonia) welcomed the rendering of the verdict of Trial Chamber I of the International Criminal Court in the case of The Prosecutor vs. Thomas Lubanga Dyilo today, 14 March 2012. Her thoughts today are with the victims of the crimes at the heart of the trial. The crime of enlisting and conscripting child soldiers is among the most heinous crimes of our times and one that, sadly, plays a role in many contemporary armed conflicts.
