The International Criminal Court

Established in 1988 by the signing of the Rome Statute, the International Criminal Court (ICC) is a permanent tribunal that enforces international law and upholds human rights. The ICC prosecutes individuals for crimes against humanity, genocide, crimes of aggression and war crimes. Currently, 114 states are members of the Court although several nations such as Russia and the United States are not formally members. Nevertheless, given its broad jurisdiction and power to prosecute, the ICC is an important institution of global justice.
