Introduction to the ICC

Since its inception in July 2002, the International Criminal Court (ICC) has become a dominant organization in international relations and the premiere tribunal for the prosecution of war crimes. Despite being founded only a decade ago, the ICC has already investigated atrocities in countries including the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Libya, Sudan and Uganda. As the court’s ongoing investigations progress, the resulting verdicts and effects on international relations will define the legitimacy and efficacy of the ICC.
