He says Malaysia could have played an important role in Asean in punishing those involved in the genocide against the ethnic Rohingya and other forms of extremism.
Klang MP Charles Santiago says the sudden backdown from the Rome Statute shows the government is buckling under pressure.
The Rome Statute is an international agreement that created the International Criminal Court , which serves to complement existing laws in a state to prosecute individuals who commit international crimes, as contained in Article 5 of the statute, such as genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and crimes of aggression.
“All of this shows weakness. It shows you have not thought through; it shows upon pressure, you relent. “They didn’t reach out and, as a result, you have made this U-turn. It’s a loss of face for the minister and the government,” he said referring to Foreign Minister Saifuddin Abdullah, who signed the Rome Statute at the United Nations in March.
