Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein)

This amendment may not reflect the Rome Statute but it does not dilute the statute. It is a step forward from that and complies with international standards on this matter. It is a pity that we cannot adopt these standards and be to the fore in ensuring that other countries consider these provisions when they adopt the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court in their legislation. My amendment strengthens the responsibility for such actions and the jurisdiction of that court in particular.
