Aims, Roles and Power of ICC Questions
and Answers Fully Solved
What is the International Criminal Court? - answer The ICC is a permanent international
court established to investigate, prosecute and try individuals accused of committing the
most heinous crimes: genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and crimes of
aggression.
How does the International Criminal Court differ from other international courts? -
answer The International Court of Justice (sometimes called the World Court) rules on
disputes between governments but cannot prosecute individuals. Unlike the ICJ, the
ICC prosecutes individuals, not states.
The international criminal tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda have tried
individuals for crimes against humanity. Unlike the international tribunals, the
International Criminal Court is a permanent body.
How many countries have ratified the Rome Statute? - answer123 countries are States
Parties to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. Notable absences
include three UN P5 members: China, Russia and the USA.
What enforcement mechanisms does the ICC have? - answer As a judicial institution,
the ICC does not have its own police force or enforcement body; thus, it relies on
cooperation with countries worldwide for support, particularly for making arrests,
transferring arrested persons to the ICC detention center in The Hague, freezing
suspects' assets, and enforcing sentences.
Aims of the ICC - answer (most likely not stating each of the names) (perhaps identify
one aim with an example and another one likewise)
1. To end impunity for the most serious international crimes: The ICC aims to ensure
that individuals who are responsible for committing these crimes are held accountable
for their actions and are brought to justice.
2. To provide justice for victims: The ICC aims to provide justice and redress for victims
of international crimes, by ensuring that perpetrators are held accountable for their
actions and that victims receive reparations for the harm they have suffered.
3. To deter future crimes: The ICC aims to deter future crimes by sending a strong
message that such crimes will not go unpunished.
, 4.To contribute to international peace and stability: The ICC aims to contribute to the
maintenance of international peace and stability by deterring international crimes,
promoting respect for international law, and ensuring that justice is served.
5. To promote cooperation among states: The ICC aims to promote cooperation among
states in the investigation and prosecution of international crimes, and to encourage
states to work together to ensure that justice is served.
1. End impunity, seek justice for victims of heinous crimes and serve as a prevention
strategy
2. Uphold the principle of complementary and serve as a court of last resort
3. Use international law to encourage lasting global peace and stability
- answer
example of ICC having a preventative stragety - answerThe situation in Myanmar is an
example of the ICC's preventative role. In 2017, the Myanmar military launched a brutal
crackdown against the Rohingya Muslim minority in Rakhine state, resulting in
widespread violence, mass displacement, and allegations of ethnic cleansing and
genocide.
The ICC opened an investigation into the situation in Myanmar in November 2019,
which aims to hold those responsible accountable for their actions and prevent future
crimes against the Rohingya population. By investigating and prosecuting perpetrators,
the ICC sends a clear message that such atrocities will not be tolerated, and those who
commit them will be held accountable.
Moreover, the ICC's investigation can also serve as a deterrent to other individuals and
groups who may be considering similar actions in the future. By demonstrating that
there are consequences for such crimes, the ICC can help prevent future atrocities and
promote international peace and security.

unpunished" - Amnesty international 2019
example of ICC as court of last resort - answerIn March 2020, the ICC authorized an
investigation into alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by all
parties to the conflict in Afghanistan since May 2003, including the Taliban, Afghan
security forces, and U.S. military and intelligence personnel. This investigation was
initiated after the ICC's Pre-Trial Chamber found that the situation in Afghanistan met
the criteria for an investigation under the Rome Statute, and after the United States
revoked the ICC prosecutor's visa in response to the investigation.
This investigation is a clear example of the ICC's complementary role, as it is being
conducted because the Afghan authorities and the U.S. government have been unable
or unwilling to investigate and prosecute the alleged crimes. It is also an example of the
