The International Criminal Court (ICC) was created by the Rome Statute in 1998 and commenced operations 1 July 2002. The ICC sits at The Hague, Netherlands. It prosecutes cases of genocide, crime against humanity, war crimes, and the crime of aggression.
The International Criminal Court (ICC) investigates and, where warranted, tries individuals charged with the gravest crimes of concern to the international community: genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity and the crime of aggression. As a court of last resort, it seeks to complement, not replace, national Courts. Governed by an international treaty called the Rome Statute, the ICC is the world's first permanent international criminal court.
The Court is governed by the Assembly of States Parties, which has 123 members.
