The International Criminal Court (ICC or ICCt) is an intergovernmental organization and international tribunal seated in The Hague, Netherlands.
It is the first and only permanent international court with jurisdiction to prosecute individuals for the international crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and the crime of aggression.
It is distinct from the International Court of Justice, an organ of the United Nations that hears disputes between states.
The ICC is considered by many to be a major step toward justice, and an innovation in international law and human rights.
The establishment of an international tribunal to judge political leaders accused of international crimes was first proposed during the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 following the First World War by the Commission of Responsibilities.
The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court is the treaty that established the International Criminal Court (ICC).It was adopted at a diplomatic conference in Rome, Italy on 17 July 1998 and it entered into force on 1 July 2002. As of November 2019, 123 states are party to the statute. India is not a signatory.
