On 25 November 2015, a new treatise on the Rome Statute was launched at a side event, as a part of the Assembly of States Parties (“ASP”) meeting in The Hague. The book, “O Tribunal Penal Internacional – Comentários ao Estatuto de Roma”, edited by Judge Sylvia Steiner of the International Criminal Court (“ICC” or the “Court”) and Prof. Leonardo Brandt, is the first fully comprehensive commentary on the Rome Statute published in Portuguese. Renan Villacis, Director of the Secretariat of the ASP, Judge Steiner, the longest serving Judge at the ICC, and Sidiki Kaba, President of the ASP, all stressed the importance of disseminating the jurisprudence of the Court in languages that practitioners understand, in order to achieve the Court’s goal of universal ratification. Following the remarks, ASP delegates, ICC officials, staff, and practitioners enjoyed a brief reception, celebrating the creation of such an important text.
