The International Criminal Court (ICC) is an institution set up to try people who commit war crimes, crimes against humanity and brutal crimes. It was created to make the world a fairer place, and to ensure that criminals are brought to justice. In a society, there are always conflicts, and for that, it’s necessary to have a justice system to judge the guilty and draw fair conclusions.<\/p>\n
The ICC is governed by the Rome Statute. It is the first permanent treaty-based international criminal court to help end impunity for the most serious crimes of concern to the international community. In addition, 123 countries are States Parties to the Rome Statute of the ICC. There are currently 123 signatories to the Rome Statute, including 33 from Africa, 19 from Asia, 18 from Eastern Europe and 25 from the Caribbean.<\/p>\n
The ICC was created in 2002 with the aim of ending impunity for the most serious criminals and promoting respect for international rights.<\/p>\n
