COLOMBIA - DECREE NUMBER 2764 OF 2002 (November 26) promulgating the “Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court”

Colombia asserts that the regulations of the Rome Statute should be applied and interpreted in accordance with the provisions of international humanitarian law and that,
therefore, nothing in the Statute can affect the rights and obligations enshrined in international humanitarian law, in particular those stipulated in Article 3 common to the four Geneva conventions and in Protocols I and II of these conventions.

Thus, if a situation arose whereby a Colombian were to be investigated and tried by the International Criminal Court, the interpretation and application of the Rome Statute would, where appropriate, proceed in accordance with the principles and norms enshrined in international humanitarian law and international human rights law.

Rome Statute

Article 10

Nothing in this Part shall be interpreted as limiting or prejudicing in any way existing or developing rules of international law for purposes other than this Statute.
