Rome Statute

The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court was adopted on July 17, 1998, and entered into force on July 1, 2002, establishing the International Criminal Court (ICC) to prosecute core international crimes, including genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and the crime of aggression. The ICC can only investigate and prosecute these crimes in situations where states are unable or unwilling to do so themselves, and has jurisdiction over crimes committed in the territory of a state party or by a national of a state party, with the exception of crimes authorized by the United Nations Security Council. As of February 2024, 124 states are party to the statute.learn more on wikipedia
