The function of the International Criminal Court (ICC) is to hold accountable individuals for crimes such as genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. Established in 2002, the ICC aims to provide justice and deter future atrocities by prosecuting those in positions of power who violate international law. The court operates based on the principle of complementarity, meaning it intervenes only when national jurisdictions are unable or unwilling to prosecute effectively. Through its proceedings, the ICC seeks not only to deliver justice but also to promote global standards of human rights and strengthen the international legal framework.
