ICC faces scrutiny over Putin Netanyahu case and US clash
The article explains that the International Criminal Court (ICC) is an international judicial authority that prosecutes individuals responsible for the most serious international crimes, including war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, and the crime of aggression. Established in 2002, it works to bring to justice those accused of committing these crimes, especially in cases where the affected states are unable or unwilling to conduct fair trials themselves. The Court's investigations cover multiple regions around the world, including Palestine, Ukraine, and Africa. It has issued arrest warrants for prominent figures such as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Russian President Vladimir Putin, leaders of the Taliban, and officials from Myanmar. The United States is not a member of the ICC and opposes its jurisdiction, particularly concerning its own citizens; it has previously imposed sanctions on ICC officials. Since its establishment, the Court has issued 15 convictions, though some of the accused remain at large, with penalties including life imprisonment.
