The International Criminal Court (ICC) aims to promote justice by prosecuting individuals accused of serious international crimes such as genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. Established in 2002, its purpose is to hold accountable those who commit acts that severely breach human rights. The ICC complements national judicial systems, which means it intervenes only when countries are unwilling or unable to prosecute offenders. By doing so, it seeks to deter future violations, promote international law, and support victims' rights across the globe.
