The ICJ welcomes the report to the United Nations General Assembly issued this week by Secretary-General, Kofi Annan: “In larger freedom: towards development, security and human rights for all.”
The ICJ strongly supports the elaboration of a binding legal instrument on human rights of persons with disabilities.
In accordance with international law, the ICJ urges the UN Sub-Commission on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights to further press for the regulation or prohibition of military courts.
This is essential for the proper administration of justice, respect of the right to fair trial and the eradication of impunity.
