North Korea is not a party to the Rome Statute. As we have seen with Syria, it can be difficult to achieve a referral when a country is not a signatory to the ICC. We welcome the Human Rights Council resolution in March 2017 which provides the basis for further work on a credible framework for accountability.<\/p>"}
