Implementation in Gabon
Gabon ratified the ICC Statute on September 20, 2000 but
has not yet completed its implementation process.
In 2003, great progress was achieved and draft legislation was produced
by the Ministry of Justice following a series of workshops organized by
the government of Gabon and the International Center for Criminal Law
Reform and Criminal Justice Policy (ICCLIR) and supported by Human Rights First.
Two pieces of draft legislation resulted from these efforts. The first
amends the Criminal Code of Gabon to incorporate the crimes of the Statute.
The other amends the Code of Criminal Procedure and provides for key cooperation
procedures.
These draft laws were discussed by prominent experts in Gabonese law.
Human Rights First still has some concerns, and a
number of preliminary comments made by Human Rights First before
the draft was discussed in July 2002 remain relevant. It is hoped that
the current drafts will soon be further revised in order to ensure their
compatibility with the Rome Statute before being sent to Parliament.
