ICC: Investigating International Crimes
A Global Effort for Justice
Accountability for the Gravest Atrocities
The International Criminal Court (ICC) is an intergovernmental organization and international tribunal that investigates and prosecutes individuals charged with the gravest crimes of concern to the international community, including genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and the crime of aggression.
The ICC is a permanent judicial body that was established by the Rome Statute in 1998. It has jurisdiction over crimes committed in states that have ratified the Rome Statute, or that have accepted the ICC's jurisdiction, as well as crimes that are referred to the ICC by the United Nations Security Council.
The ICC's mission is to end impunity for the perpetrators of the most serious crimes of international concern. The Court plays a vital role in deterring such crimes, ensuring that those responsible are held accountable, and bringing justice to victims.
