The International Criminal Court (I.C.C.) was established in 1998 and serves as the highest criminal court globally, with authority over serious crimes such as war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity. Its jurisdiction is based on the Rome Statute, ratified by 125 countries. However, the I.C.C. lacks the power to enforce its rulings independently and depends on member states for the detention of accused individuals, leading to inconsistent compliance with its mandates. This reliance complicates the pursuit of international justice, as not all signatories honor their obligations to arrest wanted persons.
The I.C.C., established under a 1998 treaty, is the world's highest criminal court, with jurisdiction over war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity.
The court relies on member states for enforcement, as it cannot detain accused individuals independently.
With 125 countries having ratified the Rome Statute, compliance with its terms is inconsistent, posing challenges for international justice.
Though the statute mandates signatories to arrest accused persons who enter their territory, adherence varies significantly among members.
