Welcome to my blog on the International Criminal Court.
Currently i am reseaching the Internation Criminal Court (ICC) as my topic. Thougout my blog I intend to dicuss what exactly the criminal court has jurisdiction over and my opioions on there use of power (or lack of).
A direct quote from the ICC's website:
" Based in The Hague, the International Criminal Court will have jurisdiction to prosecute individuals for the most horrific of crimes: genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.
The jurisdiction of the ICC will be complementary to national courts, which means that it will only act when countries are unable or unwilling to investigate or prosecute.
The ICC also has strong protections for due process, procedural safeguards to protect it from abuse, and furthers victims' rights and gender justice under international law."
